Proprietary Solutions Support Massive MIMO and Small Cell Architectures
April 15, 2019 -
 Irvine, California - Skyworks Solutions, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors connecting
people, places and things, today unveiled its newest family of mini circulators
for 5G infrastructure. Circulators, which play a critical role in protecting RF
elements from excessive signal reflection, help eliminate performance risks and
safeguard vital equipment. Given footprint constraints in 5G, solution size is also
a key factor. Leveraging proprietary materials and processes, Skyworks' ultra-small
circulators occupy up to 50 percent less board space than competitive products without
compromising functionality—making them ideal for 5G massive MIMO and small cell
applications.
Skyworks' mini circulator family represents just one segment of the company's
expansive 5G infrastructure portfolio, which includes best-in-class high-efficiency
drivers and small cell power amplifiers, advanced low noise amplifiers (LNAs) with
integrated high-power switches and a broad range of individual RF devices. By providing
key base station partners with comprehensive platforms, Skyworks is facilitating
an essential first step in the deployment of 5G and ensuring the standard's rapid
commercialization.
"Skyworks is excited to once again be at the forefront of leading technologies
enabling 5G," said David Stasey, vice president and general manager of diversified
analog solutions for Skyworks. "Our ultra-compact, high performance circulators
demonstrate how we are leveraging our unique capabilities to enhance network efficiency
and deliver higher capacity with greater coverage. When combined with our mobile
and Internet of Things solutions, we are truly empowering end-to-end 5G connectivity."
According to a March 2019 report from Allied Market Research, the global 5G infrastructure
market is estimated to reach $58 billion by 2025, up from $371 million in 2017,
representing a compound annual growth rate of 96 percent. Growing penetration of
machine-to-machine/Internet of Things connections and the surge in demand for mobile
broadband services are significant drivers.
About Skyworks' 5G Circulators
Skyworks' suite of mini circulators is available in 7 mm and 10 mm packages,
both of which support the size requirements of 5G infrastructure applications. These
compact, high performance devices deliver optimal power handling and low insertion
loss, improving the efficiency of the accompanying power amplifier. Select products
from Skyworks' portfolio include:
SKYFR-001692 – 3400 to 3600 MHz single-junction
