Dublin, Oct. 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/527l4l/epcos_d7005)
has announced the addition of the "Epcos
D7005 Closed-Loop Antenna Tuner Reverse Costing Analysis"
report to their offering.
The First Commercially Available Closed-Loop Antenna Tuner Which
Supports All Protocols (Gsm, Wcdma/Umts, Lte 700-2600Mhz)
Extracted From The Japanese 4G Version Of The Samsung Galaxy S
III
Epcos began development using RF MEMS technology, but switched to
GaAs technology for their first antenna tuner.
With 4G being so widespread, the number of frequency bands needed
becomes too large to be handled by discrete components. Tunable
components are the solution and Epcos is the first to release a
closed-loop antenna tuner which supports all protocols.
The D7005 antenna tuner is based on GaAs pHEMT technology, mixing
Epcos and Sony devices.
It is a compact multi-chip module integrating a switchable high-Q
capacitors die designed by Epcos and using Sony's JPHEMT and MIMC
processes. The module also integrates a phase detector die designed
by Epcos and manufactured with HBT transistors, a switch controller
die and a 8-bit microcontroller.
The D7005
antenna tuner is targeted for mobile phones (especially 4G),
tablets and data cards using single-feed antenna structures.
