With over 15 years of experience in antenna and RF, TE Connectivity’s rich portfolio offers standard and custom antenna solutions in cellular, GNSS, Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth/Zigbee, ISM and LPWAN categories. The products are available in several mounting types and physical forms and cover a broad range of frequency bands for operation on any network in both regional and global markets.
From smart homes to complex industrial applications, antennas are the critical components of the Internet of Things (IoT) system. Along with other electronic components, such as filters and power amplifiers, antennas enable wireless connectivity between devices and the network by allowing the transmission and receival of radio frequency (RF) signals. The ability to provide highly reliable and efficient communication while adapting to an exponentially growing traffic environment is what makes antennas capable of supporting IoT applications.
Designing the antenna and optimizing its performance requires a lot of thought work. Everything from its shape, location, materials, the type of enclosure as well as nearby components will affect how it operates. The additional complexity of antenna design comes from the fact that nowadays there will rarely be one type of antenna inside the device. So, the challenge is to integrate multiple antennas into compact wireless devices that which demands a level of knowledge and understanding from design engineers.These and other complex design challenges have been addressed by TE Connectivity with their vast portfolio of antenna solutions.
