New Patents Filed By RFaxis Allow Simultaneous Operation Of WLAN And Bluetooth In Handheld And Mobile Applications
IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwire) - RFaxis, a fabless semiconductor company focused on innovative, next-generation RF solutions for the wireless and connectivity markets, today announced that it has filed three patents for its wireless semiconductor solutions internationally and with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. These solutions are poised to replace the existing front-end module technologies used in devices that incorporate wireless capabilities, specifically mobile platforms (including handsets).
"As the widespread use of wireless technologies continues to ramp up, the boundaries of bandwidth, cost and power savings are increasingly being pushed," noted Mike Neshat, president and CEO of RFaxis. "RFaxis has its finger on the pulse of the wireless world, and mobile platforms and handsets are an area in which our innovations can really improve upon what is available in the market today. These patents pave the way for the launch of the next member of our product family, which will be announced later this quarter."
The newly filed patents form the technology foundation for RFaxis' next offering, the first and only fully integrated, BiCMOS, single-chip, single-die, Dual-Mode WLAN/Bluetooth RF Front-end Integrated Circuit (RFeIC) which will allow simultaneous operation of WLAN and Bluetooth while utilizing a single antenna. This RFeIC will support high data rate WLAN applications (54Mbps 802.11g) as well as EDR Bluetooth (up to 3Mbps) with power modes to support up to Class-1 operation. This RFeIC will be available in a 3mmx3mm 16-QFN package.
RFaxis' patent pending RFeICs integrate the PA, LNA, transmit and receive switching circuitry, the associated matching network, and the harmonic filter all in a single-chip, single-die device. These RFeICs combine superior performance, high sensitivity and efficiency, low noise, small form factor, and low cost to form an ideal solution for applications requiring low power, extended range and bandwidth and small form factor.
