Skyworks Solutions has expanded its best-in-class antenna tuning product portfolio with the addition of several new high performance solutions. Skyworks’ latest antenna tuning offerings address the design challenges mobile device manufacturers face as smartphones become thinner, leverage revolutionary case materials and integrate more cellular bands.

By optimising radiated efficiency, Skyworks’ antenna aperture tuners enable higher data throughput and smaller footprints, minimising dropped calls and improving the consumer experience.

David Stasey, General Manager and Vice President, Diversified Analog Solutions, Skyworks, commented: “Cellular band proliferation in smartphones increases complexity and requires highly sophisticated RF solutions. With our newest suite of antenna tuners, Skyworks is once again pushing the performance envelope and enabling breakthrough front-end performance as well as size reductions and cost savings.”

Skyworks’ antenna tuning switches provide low RON for higher efficiency, transfer more power to the antenna, offer low COFF to deliver accurate and consistent tuning results, enable high VPEAK for improved Radiated Spurious Emission (RSE) performance and integrate GPIO-control for ease of use. To simplify the design process and accelerate time-to-market, Skyworks assists with antenna modelling, data simulation, design and layout optimisation and onsite support to help customers leverage these advanced antenna tuning products into their platforms. These products are shipped in a RoHS compliant plastic package with compact 10-pin 1.1x1.5x0.5mm QFN. The common footprint of these devices allows customers to utilise one layout across multiple designs.

These devices are available in the following configurations:

  • SP2T – SKY19243-686LF;
  • SP3T – SKY19244-686LF; and
  • SP4T – SKY19245-686LF.

Skyworks’ antenna aperture tuners are currently available for sampling and production.
