Lumera Develops Smart Antennas for Wi-Fi and Wi-Max

Lumera, a majority owned subsidiary of Microvision, demonstrated a smart antenna design that uses proprietary patch array technology to form single beam or multi-beam disbursement patterns. The company said it has also made major advances in the design of proprietary polymer-based radio frequency (RF) phase shifters that significantly reduce power consumption for smart antennas. The Lumera designs use readily available printed circuit board technology. The smart antenna technology could be used in 802.11b and "Wi-Max" 802.16 applications.
