What is antenna tuning?
Because of the increase in new features, functionality and industrial design requirements, the space available for the mobile system antenna is shrinking at a rapid rate. As antennas are wrapped and repathed, they lose efficiency. Some of this lost performance can be recovered with antenna tuning, in which the system uses dynamic impedance tuning techniques to optimize the antenna performance for both the frequency of operation and the environmental conditions. Learn More By applying proven, patented UltraCMOS process and HaRP switch technologies, engineers at Peregrine Semiconductor developed DuNE technology, a new design methodology used to design digitally tunable capacitors (DTCs). Supporting a wide range of tuning applicationsfrom tuning the center frequency of mobile-TV and cellular antennas to tunable impedance matching and filtersDuNE products offer power handling, performance, and size advantages that are unrivaled by any other commercially-available digital tuning technology.
