Avago Technologies announced a miniature highly integrated LNA-filter RFIC module, the ALM-2203, targeting Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) car radio systems. The module is designed to enable SDARS signal to coexist with cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS signals commonly present in today’s automobiles.
There are an increasing number of RF antennas and radio systems in new cars enabling advanced safety features and media-rich infotainment. Furthermore, personal wireless devices such as smartphones and tablets have become an integral part of modern day in-car experience for drivers as well as passengers. The car can be an environment crowded with many different types of wireless signals that could cause an RF interference disrupting desired signal reception. As such, it is difficult for a small signal type such as SDARS to operate in the presence of nearby large signals like 4G/LTE and WiFi. The ALM-2203 is the first highly integrated LNA-filter module that addresses SDARS wireless coexistence challenges while meeting the miniature footprint requirement for modern shark-fin type antennas.
