Antennae are thin and light for small cell, front haul and back haul systems
Additions to the SenCity range of antennae from Huber+Suhner, the Matrix small form factor antennae, are designed specifically to minimise the visual impact of mm-wave radio networks while delivering electrical performance.
NFC tags and transceivers combine for IoT applications
Using STMicroelectronics’ ST25 NFC tag IC for IoT data transmission application, Securitag Assembly Group (SAG) has announced the NFC Ferrite Tag. It is small, light, and thin, and can be surface-mounted during production through the metal pad that can be directly soldered to the PCB surface.
LDS technique shapes up for next-gen wireless antennae
In co-operation with the Institute of High Frequency Technology and Radio Systems (Institut für Hochfrequenztechnik und Funksysteme, HFT) at Leibniz University of Hannover, the LPKF Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) technique is currently being evaluated for suitability for next-generation wireless applications. Early indicators are that LDS technology is applicable for antennae in the millimeter-wave frequency band, e.g. 5G wireless technology or for automotive sensors.
