Employing
Ethertronics' patented technology, the new GW tri-band embedded antenna
is the flagship product in the company's G SeriesT and represents the
highest performance, efficiency, isolation and selectivity available
for tri-band wireless devices. The GW antenna operates on the 900 MHz
GSM, 1800 MHz DCS and 1900 MHz PCS frequency bands,
delivering a single, multi-use embedded antenna component that enables
global roaming for mobile phones and cellular data.
Key
Advantages
As part of Ethertronics' G Series, the GW embedded antenna offers OEM
product designers flexible and cost-saving advantages:
High Performance - the GW model, with its unique isolation properties,
outperforms standard PiFAs (Planar Inverted F Antenna) and delivers
an
80-100% improvement in the SAR-to-efficiency ratio. This translates
into
increased signal strength, battery life and talk time, while reducing
the RF
exposure to the user.
Tri-band Capability - the GW antenna allows OEM product designers to
integrate a single embedded antenna for use across worldwide cellular
frequencies.
Flexible Integration - the GW's high isolation properties allow auxiliary
antennas, including Bluetooth (MB model) and GPS (MG model), to be placed
in
close proximity to each other with minimal coupling. Surface mounting
options and a volume up to 50% smaller than competitive embedded antennas
make integration easy.
"The
antenna industry, largely unchanged for the past twenty years, is
experiencing new innovation and vitality," stated Bruce Gray, Ethertronics'
CEO. "With the introduction of our high performance embedded antennas,
which
deliver whip-like performance in an isolated, miniature design, Ethertronics
is helping to lead this change in order to keep pace with the growing
needs
of today's wireless consumers who are requiring better, faster, smaller
wireless devices with seamless global roaming capabilities."
In
addition to the GW model, Ethertronics also offers other G SeriesT
embedded antennas for dual-band mobile phone and cellular data applications,
including:
GC - embedded antenna operating on the 900 MHz GSM and 1800 MHz DCS
frequency bands. The GC antenna is ideally suited for devices requiring
international roaming coverage for GSM and DCS enabled mobile phones
and
devices.
GZ - embedded antenna operating on the 800 MHz AMPS and 1900 MHz PCS
frequency bands. The GZ antenna provides a low-cost, high performance
embedded antenna for analog, digital and dual-mode GSM, CDMA and TDMA
mobile
phones and devices.
