Antenna Co. announced the availability of new high-performance antenna technologies and systems for a wide variety of applications including both indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi, connected home, mobile computing, telematics, and IoT applications.
Antenna Co.’s patented SuperShape® technology improves gain, efficiency, isolation, and coverage versus conventional embedded antenna designs on the market. Independent benchmark tests have shown SuperShape® antennae to increase range and throughput by 50 to 100 percent in both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight test conditions. Using Antenna Co.’s proprietary dielectric resonator design approach, the shape and size of the antennae can be tailored to meet custom demands of performance, system integration, and cost.
Antenna Co. also developed compact designs optimized for use in laptop computers and other mobile computing devices. In addition to improvement in MIMO Wi-Fi performance, these new antenna designs can be 40% smaller than competing designs which frees up space for integration of other wireless technologies, such as LTE or 60 GHz.
Key Features
- For indoor Wi-Fi applications, high-performance antennae provide superior radiation characteristics with greater efficiency and gain compared to conventional antennas. Antenna Co. offers optimized dual-band and single band antenna systems for compact, embedded designs which require high levels of isolation between multiple antennae
- Optimized reference designs are available for 802.11ac MIMO or Multi-User MIMO system configurations ranging from 2×2 up to 8×8, delivering gigabit wireless performance
- For outdoor Wi-Fi applications, the SuperShape® directional Wi-Fi antennas enable compact, high-gain, high-performance antenna arrays designed for harsh outdoor conditions – while outperforming larger micro-strip array solutions
- Outdoor products are well-suited for wireless backhaul, high density metropolitan, and stadium deployments as well as 3G/4G network offload applications
- For Smart Home & Connected Home applications, the company developed embedded low-loss antenna designs for integration into set top box and other connected home devices, extending the reach of streaming HD content throughout the home
- Solutions for low data rate sensor applications are also available to provide connectivity for IoT devices requiring extended range, low battery life and small-form factor
