Hi, I am an RF design engineer. I am struck with
one problem
, hope you will help me out-- I am working
for a wireless RF project for RF communication and
customer needs the product in very harsh environment
like operating temperature -80 to +140degC.
Please help me out in building RF communication
circuitry for it. I would initially need RF transceiver
which works at that temperature. Looking
forward for your valuable suggestions, thanks in
advance Vandana

Vandana,
It is probably going to be difficult
finding components that work over that temperature
range. Even if you do, you would have to go to MIL
grade parts which will be prohibitively expensive.
You might look at some form of thermal control
for the circuit to keep it within reasonable operating
temperatures.

Thanks Karthik for your reply...
Even I am thinking
same to use heat insulators to protect the circuitry,
but i do not have much experience in it.
Can
you please sugest some material and its usage application
of heat insulators.
Regards,
Vandana

Minco makes a variety of heat strips that can be
used on a variety of surfaces.
http://www.minco.com/One way of doing
this is to use a microcontroller to monitor temperature
(ambient and/or board temp) and based on some pre-defined
setpoint, turn on/off the heat strip. You
might also get some pre-configured thermal control
unit - minco might have them as well.

Thanks Karthik.
I will look in to it, but
I am worried whether any microcontroller will work
at this temperature?
If you know any of
those then please let me know....
Thanks
again for your response....
Vandana
