Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
President/ Statutory Representative Director: Tsuneo Murata
Overview
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has developed an evaluation system capable of evaluating all parts of an RF component*, from transceiver IC to antenna switch.
Support for evaluating characteristics of each part in a mobile phone transceiver circuit and characteristics of the transceiver component (RF component) , and support for IC matching in customer devices, will make circuit design easier.
The evaluation system will be on display at CEATEC JAPAN 2011 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, October 4-8.
Background
The market requires shorter development times for devices like mobile phones and wants RF components that are smaller and offer multiband capability. Using modules developed based on Murata Manufacturing high-frequency signal technology, designers can configure RF components that support high functionality and compact size in circuit design and check that these modules function and meet the conditions required to serve in mobile phones before offering them to customers.
Features
- Supports Band I, V, IX, (11, 21) GSM_Quad
- Footprint: 235mm2
