Optimizing antenna radiation efficiency

Industrial design (ID) constraints, innovative form factors, and end-user preferences for better UX affect antenna performance, as more features and frequency bands need to be fitted into smaller and thinner devices.

With Infineon's antenna tuning switches, RF engineers can optimize power transfer to the antenna and improve antenna radiation efficiency by 3 dB or more, while keeping the number of antennas low.

Increased design flexibility and accelerated time to market

Infineon's antenna tuning switches allow RF engineers to easily customize PCB design and speed up product development cycles enabling a faster time to market of end devices.

By applying antenna tuners, RF engineers can keep the number of antennas low, which translates to more space for other features and a higher design flexibility overall.

Moreover, Infineon's antenna tuners are incredibly small, light, and robust, and enable flexible placement on PCBs even within a very limited space.

Deep-rooted RF system understanding and antenna tuner design expertise

Based on long-term RF expertise and technology development, Infineon continues to innovate and expand its antenna tuning switch offering, providing solutions to even more complex antenna design challenges of the future.

For example, the adoption of 5G significantly increases antenna design complexity, since more antennas need to cover even more higher-frequency bands within a limited space. This can affect antenna performance. In addition, signal coexistence (e.g., cellular, Wi-Fi, UWB, GPS) and the emergence of new use cases, such as CA (carrier aggregation) and ENDC (E-UTRAN new radio-dual connectivity), further affect antenna efficiency and create more linearity constraints. With Infineon's antenna tuners, RF engineers can optimize power transfer to the antenna, improve antenna radiation efficiency, and meet linearity system requirements.
