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

Example: Smartphones
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
