Taoglas and Peregrine Semiconductor Team Up on Digitally Tunable LTE Antenna Solution for M2M Market
15 Mayo 2013 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Taoglas USA, Inc. (www.taoglas.com), provider of
antenna solutions to the M2M and connected device market, has
teamed up with Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:
PSMI), a fabless provider of high-performance radio frequency
integrated circuits (RFICs), to bring a dynamically tunable LTE
antenna solution to the M2M market. The solution contains an
embedded surface-mount ceramic PIFA antenna from Taoglas — the
Warrior PA.710.A — and Peregrine’s successful PE64102
DuNE™ Digitally Tunable Capacitor (DTC) on one evaluation
board. It enables M2M devices to reach wide bandwidths and meet
requirements for high performance using similar antenna space
requirements as 3G/4G systems. Additionally, it has the ability to
dynamically change the antenna band “on the fly” to match the
cellular band a radio module is using. This new solution can be
immediately tested via Taoglas’ DTAD.01 evaluation board, which
will be unveiled May 21st at CTIA in Las Vegas at booth
#5534.
“This system will benefit our customers because it means they
can achieve very high performance and throughput on those
challenging lower frequencies such as 700 MHz, without dramatically
increasing the size of the antenna,” said Ruben Cuadras,
engineering manager with Taoglas USA. “Our Digitally Tunable
Antenna (DTA) — the Warrior PA.710.A — helps customers
reduce the size of their product and enables them to ‘re-tune’ an
antenna whenever it is impacted by items such as a battery,
enclosure or LCD. The antenna frequency can adjust for each
specific location in cases such as when driving a car across
multiple locations, or when a device moves between different
countries. Teaming up with a top-tier company such as Peregrine
means that, together, we can help our clients globally prepare
their devices for LTE.”
“Today’s wireless devices must now support a subset of more than
40 frequency bands, worldwide. M2M devices, in particular, must
adapt ‘in the field,’ in order to connect to the strongest signal,”
said Mark Schrepferman, director of the communications and
industrial product line for Peregrine’s High-Performance Solutions
business unit. “By dynamically tuning the antenna with DuNE DTCs,
the system can support multiple bands while providing optimal RF
performance. We are pleased to work with Taoglas to bring this
cost-effective solution to the M2M market.”
The evaluation board will be available directly from Taoglas and
online in the coming months through its distributors. The
Warrior PA.710.A wide-band antenna covers all working
frequencies in the 3G/4G cellular space but will require a certain
ground plane size. More information about Peregrine’s DuNE tuning
