Jun 28, 2011 10:22 AM, MD&D News Staff

Poised for enhancing the performance of commercial smart phones, the Ether 1.3.1 adaptive antenna solution from Ethertronics promotes design benefits such as a 50% reduction in antenna volume while maintaining compliant performance levels. The offering provides more degrees of freedom in the antenna structure design through the use of active impedance matching techniques. Since the antenna system is dynamically tunable to address specification issues in challenging areas, Ether 1.3.1 is also viable for achieving specification compliance. With several reference designs already in the field, Ether 1.3.1 can support 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile device designs. Of note, this solution can support any number of mobile device form factors.
