Paratek's new Adaptive Impedance Matching Module (AIMM™) is a completely new component that functions as a closed-loop tuner for wireless phones. The beauty of AIMM™ is that it operates exceptionally well under virtually all conditions, providing the antenna with an optimum impedance match in receive and transmit modes. AIMM™ compensates and corrects for mismatch conditions caused by:
-
Changing antenna environments
-
Temperature variations
-
Frequency band-edge degradation
-
Power level changes
-
Unit-to-unit volume variations
Mobile phone antennas can 'de-tune' based on simple ergonomics and environmental conditions. For example, how the phone is held against the head can markedly impact the impedance match. Similarly, how the phone is stored (in a pocket or briefcase, for example) can negatively impact this match. AIMM™ compensates for these variables, which results in a dramatic increase in total radiated power (TRP), link margin, PA linearity,
PA efficiency, and antenna efficiency (gain) combined with a reduction in
overall current consumption.
AIMM™ represents a breakthrough product for Paratek. Market acceptance of AIMM™ has been exceptionally strong, since the technology provides benefits for the entire wireless supply chain...from component makers and handset manufactures to the carriers themselves.

Paratek works collaboratively with customers to optimize the use of ParaScan and the tunable ICs that derive from it. Paratek also is focusing on manufacturing AIMM™ in volume, so that customers can readily integrate this cost-effective and enabling technology into their subsystems and wireless devices.
