Atmel has more than 30 years experi-
ence in designing broadcast radio
solutions, such as AM/FM front-end
devices or active antenna solutions.
One focus area of Atmel's broadcast
radio activities is the car audio seg-
ment. Both Atmel's in-depth radio
know-how and its high quality stan-
dards (ISO 9001 and TS 16949) enable

Atmel to meet the specific quality and
performance requirements in this mar-
ket.

Atmel provides entire car radio system
solutions (baseband and front ends),
and supports design-ins with a broad
range of tools including software and
dedicated reference designs.

Since the number of different anten-
nas is drastically increasing with each
new generation of electronics in cars,
car manufacturers very often face the
problem of finding enough room to
place antennas. This requires them to
find new, space-saving antenna solu-
tions such as window antennas, wind-
screen antennas, and multiband/multi-

standard antennas. For broadcast
radios, actively driven antennas will help
to solve problems such as amplification
losses and matching issues.

Atmel is well experienced in electronic
car antenna amplifiers and is able to
meet any technical antenna require-
ments.
