Forefront RF products simplify the design of smartphones and expand their market reach.Foretune™ technology resolves RF interference and challenges by leveraging self-interference cancellation techniques. Similar to noise cancelling technology in headphones, Foretune™ dynamically cancels all unwanted RF signals (emitted by inbuilt transmitters and receivers in mobile radio front ends) by adding inverted versions of those signals. Aimed at 3G,4G and 5G equipment, Foretune™ technology is set to replace the different components found in traditional radio front-end modules with a smaller integrated solution capable of supporting more bands. The higher the band count, the greater the space saving.
