Embedded antennas cover five and six
bands
Latest additions to the high-performance multiband High Dielectric Antenna embedded antenna range are a 4mm low profile penta-band antenna and a six-band antenna.
Antenova has two new high-performance multiband High Dielectric Antenna (HDA) embedded antennas for mobile handset and portable device applications; a 4mm low profile penta-band antenna and a six-band antenna Antenova's 4mm low profile penta-band HDA antenna, billed as the industry's thinnest five-band antenna, is ideally suited for ultrathin mobile handsets, and the new six-band HDA antenna is ideally suited for mobile handsets, PDAs and UMPCs for the global markets

Diversity antenna promises to boost 3G datarates
A ground-breaking antenna from Antenova is providing the missing link in the struggle to provide data transfer speeds that really deliver on the promise of 3G.
According to Greg McCray, CEO of Antenova: "As more and more applications are designed into devices, co-existence has become critical and board space a premium".
"But unfortunately, as the antenna size (volume) gets smaller, the performance decreases, so it becomes even more critical to have higher performing smaller antennas".
"With its smaller size, multiband capabilities and lower detuning qualities, Antenova's HDA antennas allow device designers and manufacturers more freedom in their PCB layout without having to sacrifice antenna performance and efficiencies".

Antenova has developed an innovative antenna design it reckons changes the economics of the micro basestations used to optimise cell coverage.
Coexistence antenna has 2.45GHz standards covered
A novel antenna allows dual-mode 802.11b and Bluetooth access points to be constructed without the large antenna spacings typically needed to avoid interference between channels.
"The low profile of our 4mm-high penta-band HDA antenna enables handset manufactures to keep pace with consumer demand for smaller and thinner handsets, while the six-band HDA antenna provides device manufactures the development, cost and time to market advantages of designing one device for their global markets".
Antenova's 4mm low profile penta-band antenna covers the GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1800, PCS 1900 and WCDMA 2100 bands and is also suitable for CDMA/TDMA 850 and 1900.
With a small volume of about 1cm3 and an impressively low 4mm height, this antenna is the thinnest penta-band antenna in the world and offers over 50% average terminal radiation efficiency over all five bands.
The hexa-band antenna covers the same five cellular bands plus the 2.4GHz band for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi applications, has a volume of less than 5.8cm3 and offers an average terminal efficiency of greater than 50% over all five cellular bands and 40% efficiency in the 2.4GHz band.
McCray adds: "Antenova has been leading the industry with its high performing multiband HDA internal antennas for mobile handsets and portable devices".
"Antenova's patented HDA antennas, through our licensee partners and customers, have been in mass production since 2004 and enable some of the most advanced wireless devices, smartphones and feature phones around the world".
"HDA antennas can be found in a significant number of handsets from four of the top five handset OEMs, including Motorola and Samsung, and in a multitude of handsets from ODM customers in Taiwan and China".
