El Segundo, California – April 18, 2019
 Overview: This webinar presents a new
technology and design methodology enabling one antenna component from
Fractus Antennas
which fits all IoT designs, based on a new generation of tiny components named antenna
boosters. To address IoT applications, this miniature, multipurpose and surface-mount
(SMT) component fits seamlessly in an electronic printed circuit board the same
way any other electronic component does, replacing conventional customized antennas
for wireless applications. The miniature booster is also multiband, so it easily
works to any standard or frequency (NB-IoT, LoRa, Sigfox, WiFi, GPS, 4G, 3G…), even
multiple standards simultaneously.
The input impedance of these devices can be designed for any frequency, aided
by the support of impedance matching network synthesis and RF circuit simulation
from NI AWR software. They can be assembled in production on the main PCB using
conventional pick-and-place machinery, resulting in a lower production cost and
improved quality and reliability. Being much smaller than the operating wavelength,
the antenna boosters still provide full functional multiband wireless connectivity
to smartphones and IoT devices.
Presenter Bio: Dr. Jaume Anguera is the Chief Scientist
at Fractus Antennas, the lead inventor of the Virtual Antenna™ technology and an
Associate Prof. at Univ. Ramon LLull, Barcelona, Spain. R&D Manager at Fractus
(‘99-‘17). He worked in South Korea designing antennas for the mobile industry (e.g.
Samsung and LG). Inventor +140 granted patents many of them licensed. Author +220
scientific papers. Twenty years of experience in industrial antenna design for wireless
devices.
What:
The NI AWR Design Environment platform will be featured in an upcoming webinar presenting
a new technology and design methodology that uses the impedance-matching network
synthesis capabilities within Microwave Office circuit design software to design
the input impedance for a new generation of Virtual Antenna™ tiny antenna booster
components from Fractus Antennas. This antenna technology enables a single antenna
component to fit seamlessly in a printed circuit board (PCB), replacing conventional
customized antennas for internet of things (IoT) and other wireless applications.
