INTERVIEW VIKAS VINAYAK CEO & CO-FOUNDER ... - EEWeb

with several PA manufacturers that
have sampled us ET optimized PAs.
What direction do you see
Quantance heading in the next
few years and what challenges
do you foresee along the way?
As the LTE market continues on its
exponential growth path, we believe
there will be a greater a need for a
holistic way to solve the RF problem
from the antenna back to the battery,
and Quantance participates by
contributing more to the system.
Quantance will continue to deploy
our unique power supply in all
forms of wireless technologies.
Many modern consumer devices
– even beyond smartphones –
transmit radio signals. Almost all of
those devices can benefit from our
technology.
The proliferation caused by
geographies and newer data
standards, such as LTE, has forced
an explosion in the RF transmit
chains that must be supported
in handsets. This is leading to
increased strains on cost and size
– which is critically important to
device makers because of the cost
and innovation required to meet
consumer demands. Devices must
be able to work in multiple modes
and geographies, while supporting
multiple frequency plans. All of this
requires multiple power amplifiers.
We hope that with judicious use of
other technologies, Quantance can
help to eliminate many of those
problems.
