Antenna designs for IoT and wireless systems
Reducing radio frequency inference has enabled multiple wireless technologies to co-exist within a few millimetres of one another, therefore antenna efficiency, RF isolation and antenna selectivity are all critical considerations.
In many data-gathering and wearable IoT applications, compact designs mandate the use of an on-board antenna. These antennas can be chip, patch or PIFA antennas, or embedded into the PCB itself.
Many factors affect the performance of these types of antenna including ground planes, position of other components, orientation of the unit, materials used in the outer casing, and proximity to the outer casing.
We offer a wide range of antennas specifically developed for every wireless technology standard.
- Cellular (2G, 3G, 4G and 5G)
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- ISM bands including LoRaWAN™, SIGFOX and Zigbee
- GNSS (including BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS and GPS)
- NB-IoT – LTE CAT-M1/NB1
- Custom designs for non-standard frequencies
We can also support you with your designs
A poorly optimised or tuned antenna will have an adverse effect on the wireless range and power consumption of your design.
Access the latest RF antenna modelling tools, to help you determine the optimum antenna for your system and with our own in-house IoT and Wireless Communications Technology Centre , we can also design, specify and manage the production of custom solutions from ProAnt, to meet exact requirements.
Match, tune and measure antenna performance to get the best possible results and refine in an anechoic chamber, whether it features a standard, modified or fully customised solution and receive a full report on the matching circuits used, the performance and the radiation pattern of an individual product.
