Ethertronics Launches The Next Generation Of Multi-Band Embedded Antennas - High Performance And Miniature Footprint Prove Ideal For Mobile And Handheld Devices

San Diego, Ca - (ots)

Ethertronics, a developer and manufacturer
of high performance embedded antennas for personal and industrial
wireless devices, today announced the availability of its new M
Series(tm) multi-band embedded antennas. The M Series represents a
new industry category of antennas combining the high efficiency of
traditional external antennas, with superior isolation, selectivity
and the integration advantages of a miniature, embedded design.
Building on the capabilities of Ethertronics' patented antenna
"shaping technology", the M Series marks the evolution of a unique
"blade design" which sharply reduces its thickness and volume
requirements inside a product enclosure. Measuring only 0.5 mm in
thickness, this space saving "blade design" allows single or multiple
antenna blades to sit vertically on a product's printed circuit board
(PCB) and offers OEM product designers several important integration
advantages:
  • Multi-band Capability - blades can be combined, with each blade configured for a different wireless frequency (i.e. GSM, Bluetooth, GPS, etc.).
  • Antenna Diversity - multiple blades can operate on a single wireless frequency to increase connectivity.
  • Integration Flexibility - blades can be mounted separately, or in combination, as determined by the hardware device's space restrictions.
Ethertronics is currently in product development trials with
several mobile phone, Bluetooth, GPS, ISM and wireless LAN
manufacturers.
"Our new M Series antennas offer the best features of both
external and internal antennas, delivering superior connectivity &
range while keeping power consumption and PCB space requirements to a
minimum," stated Bruce Gray, Ethertronics' CEO. "Furthermore, the
compact 'blade design' can be configured for single-band applications
such as Bluetooth headsets, or multi-band applications such as
dual-mode GSM phones equipped with GPS capability. This rich feature
set provides a flexible engineering environment ideally-suited for
mobile and handheld devices where performance, size and battery life
are critical factors."
The M Series is available in several configurations including:
  • MB - for 2.4 GHz Bluetooth band applications which include headsets, phones, mobile devices and peripherals.
  • MG - for 1.575 GHz band applications which support location-based services such as E-911-equipped phones and handheld GPS devices.
  • MI - for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications which include mobile devices and peripherals connected over a wireless LAN such as 802.11b.
  • MP - for 1900 MHz PCS band applications which include phones operating on GSM, TDMA or CDMA networks.
All of Ethertronics' product offerings, including the
previously-released J Series(tm) single-band antennas, feature
proprietary and patented antenna "shaping technology" which controls
and re-directs the near-field electromagnetic pattern of the
antenna's RF signal. This "shaping technology" allows for optimal
antenna performance by improving signal strength and voice/data
quality inside buildings, in urban canyons and in fringe network
coverage areas. More importantly, the technology significantly
reduces the energy transmitted towards the user's body, usually
representative of a lower SAR measurement for the OEM product.

About SAR
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the
amount of radio frequency (RF) absorbed by the body when using a
personal wireless device, such as a cellular phone. All wireless
phones marketed in the United States must meet the safety limit of
1.6 W/kg (watts per kilogram) in 1 gram of tissue, set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Wireless phones marketed in Europe
must meet the safety limit of 2.0 W/kg in 10 grams of tissue, set by
the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP). Ethertronics' embedded antennas can help OEM products
comply with both industry standards and have a decreased SAR
measurement.
