Skyworks Ramps Revolutionary Diversity Receive Modules For LTE Smartphones

Skyworks Solutions, Inc.

, an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors enabling a broad range of end markets, today announced that a family of groundbreaking diversity receive modules (DRx) for LTE smartphones is currently ramping with several tier-one manufacturers. This new product category leverages Skyworks' systems level expertise and techniques developed for cellular base stations to create a highly innovative solution integrating multiple low loss RF switches, receive SAW filters and LNAs to dramatically enhance downlink data rates in LTE advanced MIMO systems. By amplifying the receive signal without increasing noise, receiver sensitivity is improved depending upon the band. As a result, carriers benefit from improved network efficiency while consumers enjoy considerably faster download speeds.
