SkyCross has made available its new iMAT antenna, which enables Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to operate simultaneously in netbooks.
iMAT is a design technique enabling a single antenna element with multiple feed points to behave like multiple antennas, each with very high isolation.
Because 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth operate at 2.4 GHz, interference between the two radio frequency (RF) signals used to make the use of both functions at the same time nearly impossible, particularly when the two antennas were in close proximity inside a device.
iMAT can consolidate the number of antennas required in a device, reduce the specific absorption rate, and eliminate RF components.
