Lianyuan Institute successfully developed micro power wireless communication front-end chip

The project introduced an energy-efficient radio frequency transceiver architecture and a multi-dimensional optimized low-noise amplifier design tailored for power information acquisition applications. It met all the objectives outlined in the project plan and has generated promising technical achievements with potential for widespread application. Third-party testing of the chip revealed that its internal phase-locked loop and analog-to-digital conversion modules outperformed those of mainstream imported chips, with overall performance matching or exceeding industry standards. This advancement opens up new possibilities for domestic use in electricity data collection, mobile inspections, and other critical smart grid operations, potentially replacing foreign alternatives and breaking long-standing monopolies.

Building on these successful research outcomes, the institute plans to leverage the State Grid Corporation’s chip technology laboratory, which offers strong support in smart chip design and simulation. The next phase will focus on deepening research into key technologies, including hardware, software, platform integration, and standardization. Emphasis will be placed on ensuring the reliability, safety, and practicality of power grid systems, further strengthening China's position in the global smart grid technology landscape.
