Business Wire
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an industry leader in radio
solutions and precision analog semiconductors, today announced that
its Intera(TM) front-end module (FEM) for wideband code division
multiple access (WCDMA) applications is commencing production in
support of several forthcoming platforms from a leading handset
OEM. The company's innovative WCDMA FEMs simplify RF design, reduce
critical board space, facilitate implementation within virtually
any baseband architecture, and support emerging high-speed downlink
packet access (HSDPA) applications. Skyworks' portfolio of
Intera(TM) FEMs today support four of the five tier-one handset
OEMs, and are at the heart of well over 100 million handsets
following their debut just two and a half years ago. Leveraging
patented load insensitive power amplifier (LIPA(TM)) technology,
the company's newest WCDMA FEMs, with fully integrated filters, are
ideal for 3G multimode, multimedia applications where size,
performance and cost are critical. "We are delighted to be
extending our leadership front-end module capabilities into WCDMA
applications with a strategic ramp underway at one of the world's
largest handset suppliers," said Liam K. Griffin, Skyworks' senior
vice president sales and marketing. "As the industry migrates to
radio-intensive multimode applications, Skyworks is uniquely
positioned to capitalize given our broad portfolio of highly
integrated front-end modules. Further, as the industry's only
high-volume supplier of direct conversion radios with support for
EDGE, GPRS and CDMA applications, Skyworks can traverse all of the
world's key cellular networks with backward compatible RF
solutions. In turn, this depth and breadth enables us to offer a
highly differentiated and comprehensive radio portfolio." WCDMA is
a 3G wireless technology that allows users to send and receive
mobile voice, data, image and video communications at speeds up to
2 Mbps over a broad range of frequencies. HSDPA enables high-speed
downlink with data transmission up to 10 Mbps. According to
Deutsche Bank, WCDMA handsets are expected to grow 10 fold off a
base of roughly 45 million handsets sold in 2005 to 445 million
units by 2009. About Skyworks' Portfolio of WCDMA FEMs Small and
efficient, Skyworks' 22-pin surface mount WCDMA FEMs integrate the
interstage filter, the input matching, the PA, the output matching,
the power detection, and the duplexer into a single 5 x 8 x 1.5mm
package. Meeting the stringent spectral requirements of HSDPA
standards up to 24.2 dBm output power, they incorporate an indium
gallium phosphide (InGaP) heterojunction bipolar transistor PA and
contain circuitry to optimize power detector performance.
Integration of the RF front-end greatly simplifies the design of
the handset radio as all critical matching between the interstage
filter, PA, power detection and duplexer is optimized within the
module. About Skyworks Skyworks Solutions, Inc. is an industry
leader in radio solutions and precision analog semiconductors for
mobile communications applications. The company's power amplifiers,
front-end modules and direct conversion transceivers are at the
heart of many of today's leading-edge multimedia handsets, cellular
