Ethertronics, the leading developer and manufacturer of high performance internal (embedded) antennas for wireless devices, today announced the launch of IMD2 TM. IMD2, the next generation of Isolated Magnetic Dipole, leverages Ethertronics' core intellectual property and patent portfolio. In extensive testing on a variety of wireless devices, the patented new technology, incorporates key dimensional changes to the design to deliver up to a 30% performance improvement. The technology also offers product designers significantly smaller designs, enabling new applications. Ethertronics has begun implementing the new technology in projects for several major global OEM's.

"We are very excited by the results we have seen in our testing of IMD2," said Mike Isgrig, vice president of marketing and sales at Ethertronics. "This technology is a natural progression of our original work on IMD and brings an added level of confidence to our customers that their products will meet the necessary carrier and regulatory requirements."

The rapid growth in demand for new wireless applications- from GPS, Bluetooth and WLAN to mobile TV and satellite radio - in conjunction with more stringent customer and regulatory requirements is driving demand for the development of a more advanced antenna technology. Ethertronics' Isolated Magnetic Dipole™ technology delivers on the key needs of today's product manufacturers by confining the current flow on the antenna element, optimizing the isolation of the antenna in the device. The improved isolation enables higher performance in a small form factor with minimal SAR emissions.
