Chip antenna boasts ultrawideband coverage
A new chip-scale ultrawideband antenna combines an omnidirectional radiation pattern and high efficiency level to deliver the largest bandwidth possible.
To conserve space the antenna was custom-designed to deliver the required performance despite being positioned extremely close to other integrated components.
Traditionally the antenna has been isolated as much as possible from other components to avoid interference.
The handset market is experiencing unprecedented pressure to produce smaller and more fashionable handsets which is putting an increasing strain on handset designers.
As an approved antenna vendor, Sagem has relied on Fractus throughout the handset design process to produce innovative technical solutions that have helped meet the increasingly ambitious style requirements of their handset designers.
"The next-generation of antennas will need to either integrate within other components or at the very least sit closely next to them", said Josep Puig, Fractus Director, Mobile Handset Antennas.
"Fractus jumped in early in the design process".
"Working with Sagem, we have clearly shown the level of handset design innovation that is possible using Fractus antenna technology".
The triband Fractus antenna operates over GSM on the 900, 1800 and 1900MHz frequency bands in Europe and the 850, 1800 and 1900MHz bands in the USA.
