RF Antenna Switches for Smartphones: Toshiba makes a new step forward.
This is a new milestone for Toshiba, today the company announced its SP10T
RF antenna switch with a MIPI® RFFE interface that aims to achieve the
lowest insertion
loss and smallest size in the industry for
the smartphone market.
Connectikpeople has observed that, the new product uses “TaRF5”, a new
generation TarfSOI™ (Toshiba advanced RF SOI) process
using silicon on insulator (SOI) technology.
According to Toshiba, by using the TaRF5 process, the new samples achieve a
25% improvement in insertion loss (f=2.7GHz) and a 40% size reduction against
products using the TaRF3 process. These improvements can lead to longer battery
operating time and smaller mounting space, which can also contribute to smaller
sizes for products in which they are used.
