Hi.. - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

Hi rusty

That seems a good plan. Depending on your specialization background, you could either look in detail at the rf side of the problem, or look more closely at the man/machine interface area.

The first one has many solutions already commercially available, so there is no point in re-inventing the wheel. There are many low-cost products that employ frequency hopping 2.45GHz technology, and this is well established. Emerging techniques using the 60GHz band are entering commercial availability but they are currently rather expensive and more suitable for high speed LANs.

I have not encountered the term mechatronics before, but it sounds like the man/machine interface would be more your line.
