FDK Developed High Performance ''Multilayer Chip Baluns;'' Realized the World's Smallest Class-Size!TOKYO -- FDK FDK Frederick, MD (airport code) FDK From Data to Knowledge (University of Helsinki) FDK Function Display Key FDK Frequency Difference Keying FDK Frame Developer'S Kit FDK Federated Simulations Development Kit CORPORATION developed the world's smallest(1) multilayer chip baluns "AMB AMB Ambient AMB Ambassador AMB Amber AMB Ambulance AMB Associação Médica Brasileira (Brazil) AMB Ambulatory AMB Advanced Memory Buffer (FBDIMM control unit on DRAM) 1608C series" used for short-range wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. such as Bluetooth(TM)(2) and wireless LAN. FDK has also achieved 30% lower(3) insertion loss than the conventional products in this series. The short-range wireless communications such as Bluetooth(TM) and wireless LAN are currently used for PCs and peripherals and it is expected to be broader use such as cellular phones and PDAs in the near future. Especially, it is expected to add this communication function for a cellular phone to enhance its convenience greatly. For instance, it can be used for the exchange of mail addresses between cellular phones without going through a base station, the payment of shopping in convenience stores and to vending machines and the hands-free devices of cars. In reply to the above needs, FDK had tackled the development of baluns which are essential to the short range wireless communications on impedance matching between balanced and unbalanced circuits. "AMB1608C series" baluns have realized the highest class performance of low insertion losses of 0.7dB and lead free solder as well as 0.6mm of thinness required in RF circuit of a cellular phone. It has been contributed by the development of the LTCC LTCC Lake Tahoe Community College LTCC Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic LTCC Long Term Consumer Care, Inc. LTCC London Traffic Control Centre (UK) LTCC Long Term Care Consultation LTCC London Terminal Control Centre materials used for the main part of the products and the optimization of laminating patterns in addition to use FDK's fine-ceramics material technology, thin layer process technology and CAE (1) (Computer-Aided Engineering) Software that analyzes designs which have been created in the computer or that have been created elsewhere and entered into the computer. technology as well. FDK will start sample distribution in October, 2004 to PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). and car navigation markets as well as the rapidly expanding 3G cellular phone market. These baluns will be exhibited at CEATEC CEATEC Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (Technology and Electronics Exhibition, Japan) JAPAN 2004 in Makuhari Messe on October 5-9, 2004.
