With smartphone manufacturers adding new features such as 4x4 multiple-in, multiple-out (MIMO) and 5G new radio (NR) for 2019 applications, next generation architectures must embed significantly more antennas. New bezel-less smartphones integrate anywhere from four to seven antennas to support future data demand versus the two to four average antenna count within today's platforms. At the same time, the migration to full screen infinity displays and expanded functionality limit the amount of board space available. Skyworks' innovative antenna tuning solutions leverage proprietary design and process techniques to help drive antenna performance while meeting stringent linearity demands and size constraints. "Skyworks is at the forefront of developing breakthrough solutions for revolutionary 5G applications," said Carlos Bori, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Skyworks. "With best-in-class performance, our antenna tuners are playing a pivotal role in enabling 4x4 MIMO-capable mobile devices as global demand for emerging 5G applications is set to explode."
