The simplest solution is to use discrete antennas for each frequency band required by the application, but this requires additional physical space. On the other hand, this clashes with industry trends, which favor increasingly smaller solutions that simultaneously provide greater bandwidth. Therefore, another solution is required: active band switching.
AVX Ethertronics' active band-switching solutions, distributed in Spain and Portugal by RC Microelectrónica, allow the use of a single antenna element, actively modifying it to operate for different frequency bands on demand. They also enable active tuning to improve RF performance.
