ParaTune™ Tunable ICs!Using its patented ParaScan™ material as the foundational technology, Paratek has developed the ParaTune™ family of tunable ICs. These remarkable circuits offer the wireless industry a pathway to RF tuning for mobile handset antennas. Having the ability to tune, antennas can be made smaller and more efficient! ParaScan is a proprietary doped BST-based material that exhibits exceptionally broad tuning characteristics with high linearity and high Q (exceeding 100 at 1 GHz and greater than 80 at 2 GHz). Other technologies such as varactor or PIN diodes, MEMS, and GaAS switches can all be used to improve the tuning function, but they all impose penalties. Some are too 'lossy,' or too costly, or too large to integrate seamlessly into a highly miniaturized mobile phone. Paratek can produce very precise and efficient ParaTune circuits that meet the exacting needs of the wireless industry, providing both frequency- and impedance-tuning capabilities. The passive ICs themselves can be arranged in a highly customized fashion (either wafer-scale or packaged) to provide networks comprising fixed capacitors along with tuning capacitors and patterned inductors. In fact, ParaScan allows for the production of tunable passive ICs that can replace conventional fixed-frequency RF circuits and thus provide low insertion loss and wide tuning ranges. In short, the ParaTune passive tunable ICs represent a new suite of tools for the RF designer.
