Wireless device design is complicated, iterative, and time
consuming. The design for every wireless device is model-specific.
Manufacturers must design devices that perform well on multiple
frequency bands and networks—even as power-consuming features, such
as cameras, music players, and navigation are added.
SkyCross meets this multifaceted engineering challenge with
versatile, next-generation RF solutions that provide radio connectivity for nearly any device—regardless of configuration. A single embedded SkyCross antenna can simultaneously optimize:
- Multi-band/mode operations
- High gain
- Small size
- Low power consumption
Adaptable SkyCross technology helps reduce the complexity of RF design, enabling device manufacturers to meet the increasing demand for small, thin, multifunctional devices. It also helps ensure better signal reception, faster data transfer, and prolonged battery life for wireless users.
SkyCross technology has been proven in devices across all wireless categories—from innovative earphones for music players to
mobile TV handsets and multifunction mobile phones.
Large Patent Portfolio
How does SkyCross do it? The company’s RF solutions are based on patented Meander Line Antenna
(MLA) technology originally developed in the Information and Electronic Warfare Systems unit of BAE
Systems, formerly Sanders (a Lockheed Martin Company). The MLA
approach was originally designed for military applications where unobtrusive, high performance antennas are required for both satellite and terrestrial communications. MLA technology enables engineers to design ultra broadband antennas operating on a variety of frequencies and in multiple modes. In 2000, SkyCross obtained rights to
use this technology to design and manufacture products for
commercial customers.
Since that time, the highly trained scientists and engineers at SkyCross have continued to develop MLA technology
as well as new technology, dramatically expanding the company’s intellectual property and providing state-of-the-art antenna products.
Isolated Mode Antenna Technology
iMAT, the latest technological breakthrough at SkyCross, makes diversity or MIMO system possible, even in instances where the industry had long ago decided such implementation was impossible due to space constraints. iMAT
is applicable to any device, supports legacy networks, and is
essential for next generation protocols.
The SkyCross patent portfolio is very broad—spanning the entire design, development, and manufacturing process. With dozens of patents granted or pending worldwide, SkyCross sets an industry benchmark in creating and developing technologies for antenna-centric RF solutions. Further, SkyCross is focused solely on wireless and has a clear strategic roadmap for future RF solutions.
