a design and fixed in place by a self-adhesive patch.
Flexible Fera
Antenna for Miniature Devices on 915 MHz ISM and LoRaWAN
Hatfield, UK, 8th June 2021 - Antenova Ltd, UK-based manufacturer of antennas
and RF antenna modules for M2M and the IoT, is announcing a new flexible embedded
antenna for the next generation of small monitoring devices on North America's 915 MHz
ISM and LoRaWAN networks.
This antenna, named Fera, part
no SRFI068, is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna measuring 33 x 13 x
0.15 mm. FPC antennas do not require a ground plane to function, which is an
advantage in small designs where space is tight, as no empty space is needed around
the antenna on the PCB.
This antenna is an FPC which can be bent or curled and inserted precisely into
a design and fixed in place by a self-adhesive patch. This makes the integration
of the antenna simpler and is practical for low to medium manufacturing volumes.
Fera is available in two shapes - horizontal and vertical orientation, so there
are two options for integrating it into a design. It comes with an integral UFL
IPEX connector in a choice of two standard cable lengths: 100 mm or 150 mm,
and two cable types - horizontal and vertical - to give designers several options
for connecting to the PCB.
The Fera antenna is designed for the smart IoT and monitoring applications now
rolling out across North America in the ISM and LoRa bands. It is ideal for small
devices with small PCBs, that will be used for remote monitoring, smart meters,
medical devices, automotive applications, and other devices using ISM and LoRa gateways.
Antenova provides its customers with a comprehensive engineering service to assist
them with antenna integration and testing for their RF designs.
Says Antenova's product manager, Michael Castle:
"Our Fera antenna is shipping now. Its compact size makes it perfect for small,
unobtrusive sensor designs using LoRa, and Antenova offers the confidence coming
from 20 successful years in antenna design, plus in-region English speaking support."
