Smart Tuning for Smartphones 

by Gareth Weale - 2015-04-14 07:02:38.0

Smartphones have come a long way since the gray, brick-sized design of the late eighties. Today, consumers demand thinner, smaller handsets and, in order to meet this trend; smartphone manufacturers often have to reduce antenna volume within their design. Since smaller antennas typically do not offer the same performance as larger ones, the result is an increase of dropped or missed calls and lower achievable data rates. Adding to this problem, smartphones now also need to adapt to the increasing network offered data rates and wider band coverage range (698-2690 MHz) of 4G and 4G+ networks.
