The Activv antenna is an improvement on the RadioAnt antenna, the company's current offering for FM radio functionality.
The Activv antenna provides FM, impedance matching and signal amplification.
The Activv antenna is 25% smaller than the RadioAnt antenna and can therefore fit into smaller mobile devices and gives manufacturers more flexibility when designing the electronic system.
The RadioAnt antenna performs well when it is close to the human body, however, the Activv antenna offers enhanced reception performance both when it is in close proximity with the human body as well as in "free space".
"Our new Activv internal FM antenna and circuit provides performance similar to, or better than a corded headset", said Craig Somach, Sales Director.
"In addition, the antenna radiator size has been further reduced to allow implementation in virtually all mobile devices".
"Furthermore, the frequency range has been extended to 76-108MHz".
"We believe that customers are going to be pleased with this improved antenna solution".
The Activv antenna is ideal for handsets, gaming devices, consumer devices and other portable or wearable wireless devices.
