Antenova Announces Availability of GPS RADIONOVA(R) RF Antenna Module.Demonstrates World's First Single Package Solution to Combine RF and Passive Antenna in a Single Package at 3GSM World Congress CAMBRIDGE, England -- Antenova Ltd, the integrated antenna solutions company, announced the availability of GPS RADIONOVA[R] RF antenna module for embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. GPS applications for mobile handsets, personal navigation devices A Personal Navigation Device (PND) is a portable electronic product which combines a positioning capability (such as GPS) and navigation functions. The earliest PND were hand-held GPS units (circa mid 1980s) which were capable of displaying the user's location on an (PNDs), PDA's and laptop computers. Antenova's GPS RADIONOVA RF antenna module integrates a high performance and low power receiver IC with Antenova's high efficiency single ended (hardware) single ended - An electrical connection where one wire carries the signal and another wire or shield is connected to electrical ground. This is in contrast to a differential connection where the second wire carries an inverted signal. internally balanced antenna. "Antenova's balanced antenna technology enables GPS RF antenna modules to operate independent of component placement and the ground plane size," stated Greg McCray, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Antenova. "Integration of the antenna and RF provides optimized performance, placement flexibility and reduced BOM costs - thus making it a lower risk and simpler solution for OEMs to design into their own hardware module solutions. Further benefits include reduction in development cost and faster time-to-market for handset designers and manufacturers." The GPS RADIONOVA RF antenna module is a true drop in solution that delivers high efficiency and reliable performance. The module consists of a GPS radio IC and Antenova's patented single feed balanced antenna in a small 7x34.5x4mm package with a low profile connector for vertical mounting. Because of its small size and balanced antenna technology, Antenova's GPS RF antenna module only requires a PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. with a groundplane as small as 20x40mm for efficient operation. McCray added, "GPS RADIONOVA will allow Antenova to address the growing GPS market which is predicted to reach 322 million GPS enabled mobile handset, PDA's and laptop computers by 2009. Antenova's GPS antenna solutions enable reliable high performance navigation systems and provide enhanced user experience in terms of consistent and reliable location information. GPS RADIONOVA RF Antenna module and our single ended internally balanced GPS antenna that was released last year are ideally suited for embedded GPS applications in small form factors. GPS RADIONOVA is the first in our range of RF antenna modules, which will be followed by GSM/CDMA, 3G, dual-mode GPS/GSM and dual-mode WiFi/GSM RF antenna modules." Antenova will be demonstrating their GPS antenna solutions at 3GSM World Congress, Hall 1 Stand D58, in Barcelona this week. About Antenova Antenova is a leading developer and supplier of integrated antennas and RF antenna modules for mobile handsets, portable devices and laptop computers. Antenova's patented High Dielectric dielectric (dī'ĭlĕk`trĭk), material that does not conduct electricity readily, i.e., an insulator (see insulation). A good dielectric should also have other properties: It must resist breakdown under high voltages; it should not Antenna (HDA (Head Disk Assembly) The mechanical components of a disk drive (minus the electronics), which include the actuators, access arms, read/write heads and platters. HDA - Head Disk Assembly [R]) and balanced antenna technologies enable integrated antennas and RF antenna modules that are smaller, higher in efficiency, operate across multiple bands and offer more robust performance for mobile handsets, portable devices and laptop applications and peripheral devices. Antenova's high performance integrated antenna solutions along with the gigaNOVA[R] range of 2.4 and 5 GHz antennas enable rapid product development, from the R&D stage through to manufacturing and quality control. Antenova's antenna products are ideally suited for an extensive range of applications, including GSM and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. , 3G, GPS, 802.11 a/b/g, DVB-H See mobile TV and DVB. , Bluetooth[R], Wibree and Zigbee[TM].
