CDMA handset demand drives duplexers
Agilent Technologies is now shipping more than 1 million of its FBAR (film bulk acoustic resonator) duplexers per month.
Duplexers play a critical role in code division multiple access (CDMA) handsets and data cards by separating incoming communications from outgoing communications to allow for simultaneous two-way voice or data transmission.
Traditionally, duplexers have been the second largest component in a wireless phone, after the battery.
Agilent FBAR duplexers have been designed into more than 40 mobile terminal platforms, including next-generation PCS (personal communications service) band phones from six top CDMA (code division multiple access) handset manufacturers.
At a height of 2 and 1.4mm, Agilent's first- and second-generation FBAR duplexers are the only duplexers that meet the maximum height limit for CDMA data cards.
In terms of performance, FBAR duplexers provide better power handling, insertion loss, and selectivity characteristics than surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
