Infineon has announced the expansion of its range of innovative antenna tuners with new antenna tuning switches. These devices have been developed for Sub-7.2 GHz New Radio (NR) applications, supporting both 4G and 5G in smartphones, notebooks, wearables, VR headsets, smart home and other cellular applications.
To support RF engineers, Infineon Technologies is expanding its portfolio of the smallest, ready-to-use antenna tuners. Based on many years of RF expertise and technology development, the company has succeeded in further improving the efficiency of antennas.
The number of connected devices is growing rapidly. At the same time, customers expect an ever-better user experience in terms of product design and functionality. This poses a major challenge for RF engineers, as antenna design complexity is also constantly increasing due to new features, performance requirements and innovative form factors. In particular, the introduction of 5G brings additional challenges as even more frequency bands need to be covered in a limited space. All of these factors potentially impact antenna performance.
Infineon Antenna tuners - BGSA144ML10, BGSA400ML10 and BGSA403ML10 are available in a 1.1 x 1.5 mm2 TSLP 10-pin package. BGSA14M2N10, on the other hand, is available in a 0.95 x 1.3 mm2 TSNP 10-pin package with 350 μm pad pitch.
