NXP Semiconductors and Wayv, unveiled the world’s first battery operated, handheld portable cooking appliance called the Wayv Adventurer. This portable device has been developed using RF Energy technology. Designed to be compact, rugged, and light-weight, it is intended to give people the flexibility to efficiently and conveniently heat food anytime and anywhere. It can serve a number of on-the-go cooking needs including heating nutritious meals quickly and easily, at the workplace, to support people affected by disasters or personnel at military bases and in the field. This Adventurer is ideal for preparing meals outdoors during leisure activities such as camping, hiking, or fishing.
NXP’s RF module solution, which delivers 250 Watts of RF power at high efficiency, combined with Wayv’s RF antenna, helps deliver excellent cavity efficiency for effective power transfer to the food. Since battery operated appliances currently have limited electrical power, the best possible efficiency is essential. The RF module solution delivers high efficiency power combined with a high efficiency antenna solution which allows for multiple heating cycles before a recharge. This technology platform includes NXP’s MKW40Z Kinetis microcontroller (MCU) with a 2.4 GHz signal generator, a MMA25312 pre-driver, MHT1008 driver and MHT1004 final stage amplifier into a single, integrated closed-loop module.
This new Wayv Adventurer takes on-the-go smart cooking experiences to a new level.
