Jacket Micro Devices Announces First Mobile WiMAX Front End Module.New M30001 Gives Wireless OEMs High Performance in Small Package, Helping to Meet Demand for Space-constrained Devices ATLANTA -- Jacket Micro Devices (JMD JMD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Jamaican Dollar. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. ), supplier of the smallest, highest performing RF modules available, today announced it will begin sampling of the market's first complete mobile WiMAX RF front end module in January 2007. The new product, M30001, is a highly integrated and performance optimized WiMAX front end containing all active and passive components required to interface WiMAX transceivers directly to an antenna. The single 7x7x1.2 mm QFN package is ideal for mobile phone, laptop and consumer electronics applications. The small size of the M30001 allows WiMAX interfaces to be integrated along with other wireless and computing functions into small form factor products such as PCI Express, USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. and handsets. M30001 is targeted for production release in Q2 2007. "We are convinced that WiMAX will offer consumers a new and exciting option for mobile broadband connectivity," said Jim Stratigos, JMD's 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. . "Our modules will greatly simplify the design of WiMAX products and turn what could be a challenging RF circuit design with many disparate active and passive components into a single tested and ready to use component." The M30001 provides exceptional attenuation in the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. transmit and receive bands making it ideal for cellular environments. Meeting the need for extended range and increased data rates of WiMAX devices, the module delivers 24 dBm output power at 4 percent error vector magnitude The error vector magnitude or EVM is a measure used to quantify the performance of a digital radio transmitter or receiver. A signal sent by an ideal transmitter or received by a receiver would have all constellation points precisely at the ideal locations, however various (EVM). It is compatible with MIMO (Multiple Input/Multiple Output) Pronounced "my-mo," it is the use of multiple transmitters and receivers (multiple antennas) on wireless devices for improved performance. and antenna diversity configurations using a1x2 architecture. About Jacket Micro Devices (JMD) Jacket Micro Devices (JMD) a supplier of integrated RF modules for high performance wireless products, was founded in 2002 by researchers from Georgia Tech who developed a groundbreaking new method to package RF components. Unlike modules made with ceramic and other technologies, JMD's products can be rapidly customized and have higher levels of integration, resulting in fewer external components and faster time to market. JMD's patented Multi-Layer organic (MLO MLO Mycoplasma-like organism(s) ) technology defines a revolutionary, system-on-package (SOP) approach to RF modules for wireless products and is ideal for wireless systems engineers who need to design compact wireless products.
