Murata Launches 2GHz Band Isolator for Next Generation Digital Mobile Phones; New High Performing CES30 Series is the Smallest on the Market.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SMYRNA, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 2003 Murata Electronics (www.murata-northamerica.com), a world-leading innovator in electronics and the largest global supplier of ceramic passive components, today announced its new miniaturized 2GHz Band Isolator for the digital mobile phone market. Unlike its predecessors, the CES30 series is significantly smaller and lighter with increased performance levels. The components in this product line can be used in a variety of digital mobile phone systems such as 1.5GHz band PDC (1) (Primary Domain Controller) A Windows NT/2000 service that manages security for its local domain. Every domain has one PDC, which contains a database of usernames, passwords and permissions. , 2GHz band W-CDMA See WCDMA. and 1.9GHz band PCS systems. Murata's new CES30 series is the smallest in size among all of the 2GHz band isolators industry-wide. The components weigh a mere 0.06 grams and measure at 3.2mm2 by 1.6mm high, demonstrating substantial size and weight reduction. "The new CES30 series is a significant contribution to both the design and engineering communities. By utilizing innovative technologies, Murata has been able to reduce the size, improve performance and mass-produce the series at a competitive price," said Scott Klettke, Market Segment Manager for Murata Electronics North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . In addition to the significant reduction in size, many electrical characteristic improvements were made. One example is achieving an insertion loss of 0.5dB maximum along with an isolation of 14.5dB minimum in the frequency band from 1920MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. to 1980MHz at normal temperatures. Furthermore, the change in voltage standing wave ratio In telecommunications, standing wave ratio (SWR) is the ratio of the amplitude of a partial standing wave at an antinode (maximum) to the amplitude at an adjacent node (minimum), in an electrical transmission line. (VSWR VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio VSWR Vertical Standing Wave Ratio ) at the input of 1.25 maximum is a substantial reduction from the 1.4 of previous products. Through this advanced design, the impedance matching performance has greatly improved by placing the isolator at the output of the power amplifier. Finally, implementing a lead-free surface mounting process allows the isolator to be reflow (1) The process of heating and melting the solder that has been screen printed onto a printed circuit board in order to bond chips and other components to the board. Surface mount chips (SMT) use the reflow method. Contrast with wave soldering. See also reflowable text. soldered at a peak temperature of 260 degrees C. In addition to improving the electrical characteristics, Murata has also simplified the product design. Murata's new high precision electrode patterning technology has created a monolithic structure in contrast to the previous process of mounting copper electrodes around a Ferrite fer·rite n. 1. Any of a group of nonmetallic, ceramiclike, usually ferromagnetic compounds of ferric oxide with other oxides, especially such a compound characterized by extremely high electrical resistivity and used in computer memory . Furthermore, Murata has developed an innovative ceramic multi-layered substrate that can integrate these capacitors with a resistor. Murata began manufacturing the CES30 series 2GHz band isolator in August, with a production goal of 3 million parts per month by October. Samples are available at a nominal charge per unit. The current sample lead-time is 4 to 6 weeks. Please contact Murata for high volume pricing. About Murata Electronics North America Murata Electronics North America, Inc.
