ANTENNA DESIGN

Antenna Concepting is the cornerstone of designing an antenna that meets the demands of optimal wireless connectivity, regulatory compliance, and RF performance optimization. It navigates essential questions such as the suitability of off-the-shelf antennas versus custom solutions tailored to your product’s requirements. Additionally, it addresses strategies for ensuring your product meets regulatory standards and official certifications while optimizing RF performance and minimizing development time and costs.

During Antenna Concepting, a comprehensive design framework is crafted to guide the antenna design process. This framework encompasses crucial aspects such as antenna structure, component placement, wireless technology considerations, and preferred manufacturing methods. Moreover, it provides insights into selecting between off-the-shelf or custom-made antennas and identifies potential mechanical requirements.

By offering simulation-based performance forecasts, Antenna Concepting facilitates informed decision-making and minimizes the likelihood of costly and time-consuming revisions later in the design process.

In Prototype Verification, the RF performance of the antenna design is measured with a physical prototype for the first time during the process. This phase is crucial as it’s the final chance to optimize the antenna’s performance before mass production. Adjustments made now are cost-effective compared to post-production modifications, which could compromise product quality or lead to batch scrapping.

Prototype Verification can start with a non-functional prototype, eliminating the need for software. Optionally, OTA measurements like TRP and TIS can be conducted for comprehensive testing.

The main goal of prototype verification is to ensure the antenna design meets regulatory, certification, and operator requirements. Matching components are fine-tuned to achieve desired settings, resulting in an updated design and CAD drawings provided in the final verification report. With these preparations complete, your product is ready for seamless manufacturing.
