In this project in collaboration with E-radio Inc. we will investigate the possibility to create a fully integrated FM radio RDS (RadioData System) receiver for the optimization of the electrical power grid. The idea is to design a very sensitive FM radio (beyond thestate of the art) that can be inserted in several IoT devices such as dishwashers, water heater, bulbs, refrigerators in order toshape their duty-cycle as function of the energy available in the power grid. The information of the status of the grid is providedusing the FM radio broadcasted by radio service currently available all around the world. The research has to main targets: toexplore possibility to improve the receiver sensitivity beyond the state of the art and to investigate active solution to miniaturize theantenna (currently one of the limiting factor in the size of the device). As explained in the proposal, the impact of such device in theoptimization of the power grid can potentially save several billions of dollars due to the optimization of the national power grid.

在这个项目中，与E-radio Inc.我们将研究创建完全集成的FM无线电RDS（无线电数据系统）接收器以优化电网的可能性。这个想法是设计一个非常敏感的FM收音机（超越了最先进的技术），可以插入到几个物联网设备中，如洗碗机，热水器，灯泡，冰箱，以便根据电网中可用的能量来塑造它们的占空比。电网状态的信息是通过调频广播提供的，调频广播目前在世界各地都有提供。该研究的主要目标是：探索提高接收机灵敏度的可能性，超越现有技术，并研究有源解决方案以消除天线（目前是设备尺寸的限制因素之一）。正如提案中所解释的那样，由于国家电网的优化，这种设备在电网优化中的影响可能会节省数十亿美元。
