ParaTune tunable passive ICs!

Using its patented ParaScan material as the foundational technology, Paratek has developed a family of new Passive Tunable Integrated Circuits called ParaTune. These remarkable PTICs offer the wireless industry a broad spectrum of circuits in a range of capacitance values and packaging styles.

ParaScan is a proprietary doped BST-based material that exhibits exceptionally broad tuning characteristics with high linearity and high Q (exceeding 100 at 900 MHz 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.

Sample/Demonstration kits of Paratek's PTICs (Passive Tunable ICs) are available by request
