RF and antenna design

We can support you from the feasibility phase until production throughout different steps

  • Antenna design and integration
  • RF module development
  • Verification and analysis
  • Embedded software development
  • Validation and Test
  • Prototypes and Small series

We design and customize RF antennas to your challenging environments, including packaging and potting. As each project is unique, we guide you through the most cost and scope efficient solutions

  • Selection and implementation of the most appropriate antenna for your design
  • Antenna measurement and matching within its operating environment

In some cases, typically multiband antennas, the implementation process includes the fine tuning of the antenna before the determination of the matching circuitry.

Depending on your requirements (cost, space, operating environment), we can propose the best design for your product, typically

  • Inverted-F Antenna (IFA)
  • Meandered Inverted-F Antenna (MIFA)
  • Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA)

The deliverable is a set of prototype antennas with a characterization report. If the product casing is filled with potting resin - for example in ATEX environments - its permittivity is determined at the operating frequency. Upon request, a temperature characterization may be performed.
