:SWKS), an industry leader in radio solutions and precision analog semiconductors, today announced that its complete 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.  radio is supporting several current as well as forthcoming platforms from LG Electronics, most notably their award winning and revolutionary LG5900 model, or "Black Label" handset. Providing features such as a touch-sensitive keypad, camera, MP3 player A digital music player that supports the MP3 format, which was the audio format that started a revolution in online music downloads and distribution. All portable music players, the iPod being the most popular, support MP3 along with one or more other audio formats. , and EVDO capability, the LG5900 or "Chocolate" phone is already a best seller in Korea, with more than 300,000 units sold there since its launch in November 2005. LG's Chocolate phone recently won Europe's 2006 Reddot and iF Design Awards, two of the continent's greatest accolades.

"Skyworks is delighted to be supporting LG's ramp of several increasingly popular and highly innovative CDMA phones," said Brian M. Daly, vice president of marketing for Mobile Platforms at Skyworks. "Our highly integrated radio delivers the necessary functionality and form factor that offer LG and others the ability to design the compact and feature-rich phones consumers demand."

Skyworks' CDMA radio system is a two chip solution that includes a direct conversion transmitter (SKY74068), low-noise amplifier The low noise amplifier (LNA) is a special type of electronic amplifier or amplifier used in communication systems to amplify very weak signals captured by an antenna. It is often located very close to the antenna.  (SKY74092), direct conversion receiver (SKY74100), power amplifier Power amplifier

, SAW filters and various passive components. Together, they provide all the necessary functionality for a complete transmit and receive chain and reduce RF printed circuit board space by up to 75 percent versus discrete implementations, allowing for smaller, slimmer, feature-rich handsets. Skyworks' family of CDMA radios support several configurations of bands and modes, from CDMA-band or KPCS-band for single-band markets such as South Korea, China and India, to tri-band CDMA RF subsystems for South and 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. . Each of these multi-chip modules offers substantial reduction in printed circuit board space, in addition to simplifying the customer handset design process by eliminating the need for external RF tuning and optimization.

Through its innovative and proprietary technology, Skyworks is providing radio architectures to four of the top five leading OEMs and is the industry's only high-volume supplier across all key air interfaces, namely CDMA, GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations.  and EDGE.

The company's migration of customers from power amplifiers to front-end modules, and now to complete radio solutions that allow for smaller RF footprints and reduced bill-of-materials, not only enables Skyworks to significantly increase its addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be  market, but uniquely positions the company to migrate customers to 3G technology where multimode capability is a requirement.
