AWR’s Microwave Office Software Used to Design indie, the World’s First Operator-independent RF Hardware Platform for LTE Smartphones
TDK company EPCOS and Pulse Electronics used AWR’s Microwave Office to design indie, a breakthrough technology that answers the challenge from carriers in the Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) Alliance to develop a single, operator-independent RF platform supporting all NGMN operator frequency bands.
indiindie was designed with AWR’s Microwave Office electronic design automation (EDA) software, which enabled the unique design of a three-feed antenna system and RF front-end module architecture. Microwave Office allowed indie designers to explore alternative design possibilities that resulted in the elimination of the region-specific duplexer matching that is necessary in single-feed architectures, such that universal operator-independent applicability resulted.
