Antenna tuning plays a critical role in maintaining smartphone power efficiency and battery life, particularly as signal processing complexity continues to rise with the onset of 5G. With smartphone manufacturers adding new features such as 4x4 multiple-in, multiple-out (MIMO) and 5G new radio (NR) for 2019 applications, next generation architectures must embed significantly more antennas. New bezel-less smartphones integrate anywhere from four to seven antennas to support future data demand versus the two to four average antenna count within today’s platforms. At the same time, the migration to full screen infinity displays and expanded functionality limit the amount of board space available. Skyworks’ innovative antenna tuning solutions leverage proprietary design and process techniques to help drive antenna performance while meeting stringent linearity demands and size constraints.
“Skyworks is at the forefront of developing breakthrough solutions for
revolutionary 5G applications,” said
About Skyworks’ New Antenna Solutions
The SKY5™−9256-701LF
advanced aperture tuner features reliable linear operation and extremely
low Ron (1.1ohm) and Coff (145fF) to deliver superior antenna
performance, allowing system designers to recover the 1.5 to 3 dB gain
degradation caused by shrinking antenna sizes. The MIPI®-controlled,
16-state capability of the tuner also gives engineers the ability to
combine arms for even smaller Ron and Coff. Excellent harmonics are
delivered throughout the operating range, assisting customers with
achieving RSE requirements and passing certification.
