Why Design a Custom Antenna?
Because in today’s competitive markets, user experience is everything. Whether you’re developing wireless consumer devices or industrial IoT modules, flawless wireless connectivity is a must. Users demand perfection, and with more alternatives available than ever, you simply can’t afford to compromise.
With a custom antenna, you don’t have to compromise on product design. Ensure optimal RF performance and deliver the best possible user experience with reliable connectivity. Imagine providing your customers with seamless wireless performance, setting your product apart from the competition. If you’re unsure how to achieve this, our expert antenna consultants are here to guide you every step of the way!
When Should You Design A Custom Antenna?
A custom antenna is the perfect solution when you aim to develop a product with superior RF performance using integrated antenna technologies, or if you want to minimize compromises in product design. A custom antenna is also recommended if your product form-factor only allows for limited space for the antenna or in case of high production volumes.
When we customize an antenna for your product, it becomes a seamlessly integrated part of it. This reduces the number of components, requires less space, makes the product lighter, and increases its reliability.
Our recent article helps you to decide on whether to design a custom antenna or integrate an off-the-shelf antenna.
The Design Process
Radientum offers an agile, simulation-driven custom antenna design process that seamlessly integrates into your product development. From the initial feasibility study to concept creation, detailed design, testing, and final verification, our expertise covers every stage. We even provide support during the manufacturing phase.
Let us handle the complexities of custom antennas with our world-class design experience, state-of-the-art equipment, and advanced facilities, while you focus on perfecting your product.
What are the Benefits of Custom Antennas?
A custom-designed antenna offers an ideal solution for any device form-factor. A custom antenna provides better wireless performance, especially in space-constrained devices such as wearables and small IoT sensors.
You can develop better multi-band capabilities by fitting more operating bands into the product. This results in a larger geographic market area and reduces the number of product variants and costs.
Custom antennas can be developed for better tolerance against environmental disturbances compared to off-the-shelf (OTS) antennas.
Custom antennas are a smart way to reduce your product costs! By seamlessly integrating the product and a custom-designed antenna, you can reduce the BOM. Sometimes mechanical parts such as a metal frame, screw, or even cables can be used as the antenna. In the best case, you can reduce the cost of the antenna to zero!
Custom Antenna Reference Case
Radientum has designed several dozen custom antennas for consumer handhelds, industrial devices, and IoT modules for brands and manufacturers globally.
Enevo is the leading waste technology company with a patented IoT suite and sensor to reduce waste-related costs for companies, municipalities, and cities. Over 45,000 Enevo’s LTE-enabled waste container sensors in six continents help the company’s customers measure, analyze, and manage waste, reducing costs and increasing sustainability.
Waste containers are a challenging environment for antennas, and robust RF performance is critical for Enevo. Radientum designed a custom antenna for Enevo. Since 2010, the Radientum-developed antenna has ensured reliable wireless waste data transmission across all Enevo devices globally!
Why Radientum’s Custom Antenna Design Stands Out
You must balance three aspects when designing a custom antenna: delivering superior RF performance, controlling development costs, and ensuring timely product launch.
Our agile, simulation-driven custom antenna design process provides the perfect balance. Our simulations closely correlate with measurements, allowing us to quickly test different variants and deliver a cost-efficient design for the best performance for any given industrial design. Simulation minimizes the number of costly and slow prototyping rounds.
