Smart antenna chip cuts power, boosts
performance
RFTune has developed the industry's first single-chip smart antenna front-end.
RFTune has developed the industry's first single-chip smart antenna front-end A novel circuit topology and the most advanced CMOS technology delivers the industry's best combination of cost, performance and power efficiency to IEEE 802.11a/b/g systems
The device reduces current consumption by as much as 70% compared with existing power amplifiers, while increasing communication range, speed and number of channels.
Two application boards are available: one with the RFTune smart antenna chip and the other with a conventional power amplifier using the same transceiver.
These boards allow best use of inventory and allow designers to address a broad range of applications.
