Switch, varactor meet Bluetooth requirements

From: Microwaves & RF | Date: January 1, 2000| Author: | Copyright information

Small in size and cost, these components are needed for Bluetooth solutions to succeed in consumer applications.

A goal of Bluetooth developers working to enable the proliferation of the technology into inexpensive consumer products is the so-called "$5 solution." That is, the total cost of a Bluetooth transceiver must add no more than $5 to the product's bill of materials. To do that, designers need components that are highly functional, small, and inexpensive. A pair of candidates that meets the guidelines for these qualities comes from Alpha Industries, Inc. (Woburn, MA). The first, the ...
