SkyCross Calls for “Time Out” and Teaching Moment on Mobile Device Antenna Issues
“Antennagate” Type Problems Could Increase As Wireless Moves to 4G Technology, but Solutions Available
SkyCross, a designer and manufacturer of antenna solutions, has urged mobile device manufacturers and consumers to take a time out from the “Antennagate” controversy to review radio-frequency (RF) issues and their effect on smartphone performance. As the wireless industry transitions to 4G technology, antenna issues will become more significant since multifunction smartphones require multiple antennas for full broadband connectivity.

SkyCross specializes in optimizing wireless connectivity in consumer electronics devices. Over the past 10 years, SkyCross has built a commercial knowledge base and a portfolio of patented antenna designs and techniques for the mobile device, notebook, access point, and consumer device markets. SkyCross iMAT is a technology for fast broadband networks that enables a single device antenna to deliver the performance benefits of multiple antennas without creating interference issues.

“It’s true that antennas in smartphones and other handheld wireless devices are affected by the way in which the user holds the device,” said Charles A. Riggle, SkyCross vice president of Marketing and Business Development. Antennas on the Apple iPhone4 are exposed to the user’s touch, and the so-called “hand effect” is magnified due to the conductive nature of human skin on these metal antenna elements. “Apple is a premier design innovator, but more extensive device tests are often necessary to observe these behaviors and identify a remedy before launching a product. Frequently, it works better if the OEM can focus on the coolness of the design and the rich feature content and leave wireless performance to those whose sole focus is RF. This puts functional expertise where it is best carried out on both sides of the product solution.”

A non-conductive coating could have been applied on the metal ring around the iPhone4 to protect the exposed antennas from unintended signal attenuation when the user’s hand crosses the so-called “antenna gap.” Alternatively, after the phone was manufactured, a low-cost, one-inch “bandage” could have covered up the gap, making bumpers unnecessary. Since every single phone model is different, hand effect must be minimized through an iterative design process of moving and adjusting the antenna structure until the device meets mobile operator and regulatory performance goals established for that particular device in multiple usage cases. 

“In antenna design, there is an age-old conflict in the compromise between form and function,” Riggle explained. “Antenna engineers are constantly challenged to do more with less and develop new ways of incorporating radiating structures into phones in the smallest space possible while still meeting mobile operator radiated-performance tests and adhering to mandatory RF regulatory requirements.”

Designing antennas for today’s complex multi-band smartphones is both an art and a science. Antenna designers must balance the technical challenge of designing antenna elements that are effective radiators of the signals transmitted and received in as many as 10 operating frequency bands with the mechanical challenge of placing these antenna elements into a device that fits in a consumer’s pocket, is mostly a metal and glass screen, and also has cameras, speakers, a keyboard, and a big battery.

On the technical side, the antenna must be large enough to efficiently transmit radio signals without reflecting RF energy back into the transceiver as heat, which wastes battery power. The antenna must radiate those signals on channels as low as 700 MHz where the wavelength of the transmitted signal may actually be larger than the phone itself, and as high as 5 GHz where the signal propagates a significantly lesser distance per unit of power output.

On the mechanical side, the antenna must be small enough to allow sleek, thin and compact phone designs. It must also be located within the device to maximize its ability to get signals into and out of the phone without exceeding government power and RF exposure limits. Also, antennas must be designed not to create interference or be affected by nearby objects such as transceiver modules, speakers and digital cameras.

“Apple’s genius was in utilizing a major mechanical design element as the device antenna,” Riggle continued. “With the metal ring around the perimeter of the iPhone4 for the main radiating elements of the antenna, Apple eliminated the need to reserve dedicated volume within the phone for these antennas. That made the device more compact, allowed the screen to occupy as much of the front surface as possible, and enabled use of a larger battery to increase usage time between charges. Since the phone must operate on numerous frequency bands, multiple antenna elements were incorporated into the metal ring with small gaps between major radiating structures. These gaps caused problems.” 

“Apple’s problem spotlights how important the design of antennas can be,” Riggle said. “After all, antennas are the only parts of a device that touch the mobile network and are crucial for the reliable high-speed connectivity demanded by subscribers of today’s 3G and 4G wireless networks.”

Utility Telecom Services: A Comprehensive Analysis of Communications Services Offered by Utilities
Utilities generate up to an estimated $12.4 billion in the sale of wholesale and retail communications services, according to UTC's latest research report Utility Telecom Services: A Comprehensive Analysis of Communications Services Offered by Utilities. Based on a survey of its utility members, the analysis shows that over two-thirds, or around 2,226 utilities, sell some form of communications service to homes and businesses in their service areas.

Even with minimal marketing and sales initiatives, utilities generate from $6.1 billion to $12.4 billion annually through the sale of these services, according to UTC's estimates. The bulk of this revenue flows from the sale of wholesale communications services to businesses, accounting for $4.5 to $8.1 billion of the total communications service revenues generated by the industry.

Among some of the study's specific findings:

• Leasing of dark fiber is the most frequently offered wholesale communications service offered by utilities, with an estimated 39 percent of utilities offering dark fiber.
• Wireless collocation service, however, is the top revenue generator among wholesale options, accounting for $2.5 billion to $3.1 billion per year in industry-wide revenue.
• In terms of retail communications options, high-speed data service is the single most frequently cited offering, with 19 percent of utilities offering this service.
• Even though high-speed data service is more frequently offered, the single biggest retail service revenue generator for utilities is multichannel video service, which accounts for around $850 million to $1.26 billion in US utility revenue annually.

The data-rich report on the survey delivers the facts you need regarding a wide range of communications services offered by utilities, providing insight into an important part of the utility world that has been little documented - until now.

Laird Technologies Releases New ODH24-9-WB Horizontally Polarized Omnidirectional Antenna
Laird Technologies, Inc., a designer and supplier of customized performance-critical components and systems for advanced electronics and wireless products, has released its new ODH24-9-WB horizontally polarized omnidirectional antenna.

The antenna operates in the 2400 to 2500 MHz band with a 9 dBi gain and horizontal polarization (HPOL). HPOL increases the range of the antenna over flat surfaces and minimizes vertically polarized (VPOL) signals produced by electrical and wireless devices by cancelling those VPOL signals out. The ODH24-9-WB is especially useful in build-up areas that have concentrated interference due to less radiated energy being absorbed by buildings or wirework.

“The ODH24-9-WB horizontally polarized antenna offers the user great rejection of interference if that interference is vertically polarized, as is the case in most WLAN systems,” said Quaid Rasheed, Laird Technologies BWA Antenna Product manager. “The antenna is also weatherproof, and very rugged for use in extreme environments.”

The antenna system is constructed of a rugged aluminum and an ASA enclosure, which provides great protection against the outdoor elements. An integrated 50 ohm passive feed comes standard with type N female connectors along with a rugged mounting bracket for vertical, upright orientation.

The ODH24-9-WB antenna is designed for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications, 802.11 wireless systems, point-to-multi-point systems, wireless broadband systems and WLAN access points.
