Adaptive Impedance Matching Module for Military and Public Safety Antenna and Power Amplifier Applications: Next-Generation ParaTune(TM) Passive Tunable ICs Yield New Applications Paratek Microwave, Inc., a technology leader in radio frequency (RF) components for wireless applications, is now shipping high-performance Adaptive Impedance Matching Module (AIMM(TM)) evaluation kits that have been optimized for Military and Public Safety radio applications. Based on Paratek's ParaScan(TM) tunable RF technology, AIMM is currently finding widespread application in commercial cellular handsets. The 7mm x 21mm AIMM unit dynamically adjusts its internal impedance matching circuit to minimize reflected power, thereby achieving a near-optimal match. The most common application for AIMM is correcting antenna and amplifier mismatch conditions that often occur with handheld radios and body-worn antennas. AIMM can handle in excess of 2 watts with extremely low intermodulation distortion thanks to Paratek's ParaTune(TM) family of Passive Tunable ICs (PTICs). This technology makes AIMM feasible by overcoming the power limitations of other tunable technologies such as varactor diodes and MEMS. - 2008-04-23
