RF Wireless Components for Long-Range IoT: Transceivers, RF Switches, Front-End Parts and Interface ICs

Long-range IoT is a system design problem. The RF transceiver or module is central, but it does not work alone. RF switches, front-end components, antennas, interface ICs, power management, sensors, protection devices and connectors all influence real-world performance. Engineers should choose RF wireless components by starting from the application requirements and then building a complete link, power and interface strategy around them.
