Example: Notebook Computer

• Single antenna solution for 2x2 MIMO

• Two port antennas, each port supports:

– WiFi dual band 2.4-2.5 GHz, 5.1-5.9 GHz

– WiMAX dual band 2.3-2.4 GHz, 2.5-2.7 GHz

– Available with full 3G data capability 824-960 MHz, 1710-2170 MHz

• High isolation 15 dB min across each band

• Ultra thin < 1 mm

This solution has been adopted by a major laptop maker for mass production

Conventional configuration is a

MESS!

Antenna pairs must be

separatedAntenna pairs can be supported by a single structure

Configuration is CLEAN & SIMPLE

Key Benefits•Simpler integration (7 antennas to less than 3)•Reduced material and integration cost: 3:1 reduction•Improved Performance

Conventional handset architecture requires many components Enables A Simplified,

Low-cost Architecture

Example: Low-Cost Handsets

Key Benefits• Single small module simpler integration• Reduced material and integration cost (20% RF savings)

• Six antennas in brow space• Antennas 1 & 2: WWAN antennas

+ GPS (850/900/1800/1900/2100 + 1575 MHz)• Antennas 3 & 4: WiFi/WiMAX antennas

(2.3 to 2.4, 2.4 to 2.5, 2.5 to 2.7 GHz + 4.9 to 5.9 GHz)• Antennas 5 & 6: uwb antennas (3.0 to 6.0 GHz)• All are planar antennas, can be made by FPC or sheet metal

Summary

• Consumer demand for new feature rich wireless devices in the Digital Home will continue to grow and require additional antennas

• SkyCross technology addresses these requirements across ALL wireless device markets in the digital home

• iMAT technology is essential to 3G and 4G network rollouts
