Skyworks powering multiple LTE platforms
Skyworks enabled the world’s first commercial LTE device, Samsung’s high speed 4G USB modem, the world’s first mobile LTE handset, and several platforms from ST-Ericsson. Since then, the company has secured additional design wins with HTC, among others, to power various 4G smart phones.
Today’s 4G platforms allow consumers to access and stream data and multimedia applications anytime, anywhere at higher data rates than previous generation networks. Skyworks’ family of LTE products provide the most complete and flexible set of options for manufacturers developing and building 4G-enabled handsets, basestations, wireless PC cards, and a host of other embedded solutions.
According to the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA), 180 operators are investing in LTE in 70 countries – with 17 networks already launched worldwide.
LTE product examples
The SKY77702 PAM is a fully matched, 10-pad surface mount module developed for wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) applications. This small and efficient module packs full 1850-1910 MHz bandwidth coverage of band II into a single compact package. The PAM meets the stringent spectral linearity requirements of high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) and LTE data transmission with high power added efficiency. A directional coupler is integrated into the module thus eliminating the need for any external coupler.
The SKY77703 PAM is a fully matched, 10-pad surface mount module developed for WCDMA applications. This small and efficient module packs full 1710-1785 MHz bandwidth coverage of bands III and IV into a single compact package. Because of high efficiencies attained throughout the entire power range, the device delivers unsurpassed talk-time advantages. The PAM meets the stringent spectral linearity requirements of HSDPA, HSUPA and LTE data transmission with high power added efficiency. A directional coupler is integrated into the module thus eliminating the need for any external coupler.
The SKY77704 PAM is a fully matched, surface mount module developed for WCDMA applications. This small and efficient module packs full 824-849 MHz bandwidth coverage of bands V and X into a single compact package. Because of high efficiencies attained throughout the entire power range, the device delivers unsurpassed talk-time advantages. The PAM meets the stringent spectral linearity requirements of HSDPA, HSUPA and LTE data transmission with high power added efficiency. A directional coupler is integrated into the module thus eliminating the need for any external coupler.
The SKY77706 PAM is a fully matched, surface mount module developed for LTE/ evolved universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access network (EUTRAN) applications.
