Everybody talks about protecting the the environment and recycling. The nail antenna from the land of poets and thinkers (Germany) follows this trend. We’ve hit the nail on the head with this design. We don’t need a new nail – no we use old, superfluous, rusty nails and recycle them into valuable, perfect GNSS antennas. […]
Questions and answers about NB-IoT antennas are given below. This customer bought my IoT M2M Cookbook, built several NB-IoT PCB antennas based on the template in the book and needs some support. You can easily copy the NB-IoT / GSM antenna in the book into your own PCB design. However, as soon as the PCB […]
Another request for a custom PCB antenna for NB-IoT. Since we invested in NB-IoT early on, we can bring a lot of experience. Simply taking over a layout of an antenna for an unlicensed band like LoRaWAN (868 / 915 MHz) usually does not work. It may be sufficient for first tests but if the […]
Do you use antennas in your products? Do you compare data sheets? Do you have problems comparing? Are the antennas in your device not compliant with the data sheet? Are there problems with radio certification? Then I will be glad to help you, starting with the analysis of the data sheets all the way up […]
We received a request for an NB-IoT device in a matchbox. It is of course not an actual matchbox but similar in size. Small NB-IoT devices with batteries operating in the frequency range from 600 MHz to 1000 MHz are the premium class of IoT devices. I don’t want to mention the question and the […]
The akorIoT Group has a development team with many years of experience in wireless data transmission which today this is termed “Wireless IoT”. The integration of antennas into enclosures is another area of expertise for the akorIoT Group; in addition to standard antennas such as solderable chip antennas or flex PCB antennas, customer-specific antennas are […]
In order to save development and approval costs, the antenna, frequency bands, ground plane size and housing should be carefully designed at the beginning of development. If the company lacks in-house experience with radio, antennas and worldwide approval, we recommend consulting an external consultant. The following text is intended to make you think. I use […]
If an RF signal is transmitted to an antenna, a part of the signal will be reflected. The return loss in the antenna data sheet indicates how much energy is reflected by the antenna. For mobile radio antennas, for LTE Cat-NB1, GSM, UMTS or LTE, a return loss of -6 dB at the band ends […]
This is an example of a typical design process with the various steps leading to a ready-to-use wireless IoT product. Step 1 – Read the IoT/M2M Cookbook The IoT / M2M Cookbook is intended to help developers of wireless IoT / M2M devices to save some time and perhaps to provide some inspiring ideas to […]
Internal knowledge about integrated antennas If you lack knowledge about integrated antennas, then we would recommend that you use an external consultant with experience in antennas who can advise you impartially on antenna selection. In the context of my work as a Sales Director, this basic consulting can usually be done free of charge. A […]
