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 becomes short in length, it becomes difficult. Short in the context of the wavelength of the radio system. The smaller the PCB or ground plane becomes, the more complex the development will be. The picture shows an example of a customer-specific development. The antenna structure is not the one from the book. Not every structure is suitable for every application. From case to case, we decide on the type of antenna and the installation location for the antenna.<\/p>\n<h2>Request for NB-IoT antenna design<\/h2>\n<p>Hi Harald,<br \/>\nWe\u2019re holding a bit on the new design, due to vacations, other versions being produced etc. But, we might need your help with a new antenna design when we get started again. BR Mike<\/p>\n<h2>Anser to the NB-IoT customer<\/h2>\n<p>Hello Mike,<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re ready to help you. Should we measure and document your circuit boards? Or should we set up and measure an empty PCB with antenna and battery in your case?<br \/>\nUnder the two links below you will find a rough description of the procedure:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"i9e5GMcwJV\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gsm-modem.de\/M2M\/antenna-test\/pcb-nb-iot-antenna\/\">Request for an NB-IoT PCB antenna<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gsm-modem.de\/M2M\/antenna-test\/pcb-nb-iot-antenna\/embed\/#?secret=i9e5GMcwJV\" data-secret=\"i9e5GMcwJV\" width=\"538\" height=\"303\" title=\"&#8220;Request for an NB-IoT PCB antenna&#8221; &#8212; IoT M2M blog\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"4HDO0QUALX\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gsm-modem.de\/M2M\/antenna-test\/nb-iot-in-a-matchbox\/\">NB-IoT in a matchbox<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gsm-modem.de\/M2M\/antenna-test\/nb-iot-in-a-matchbox\/embed\/#?secret=4HDO0QUALX\" data-secret=\"4HDO0QUALX\" width=\"538\" height=\"303\" title=\"&#8220;NB-IoT in a matchbox&#8221; &#8212; IoT M2M blog\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThanks in advance for your feedback.<br \/>\nBest regards<br \/>\nHarald<\/p>\n<h2>Extract of wireless IoT related services:<\/h2>\n<p>\u2013 Matching of the antenna in the device (chip, PCB antenna, helical antenna)<br \/>\n\u2013 Guidance on antenna design if undertaken by the client<br \/>\n\u2013 Antenna layout of the dual F-antenna on an empty PCB in the customer\u2019s enclosure<br \/>\n\u2013 Antenna layout of any other custom PCB antenna: Helix antenna, Flex PCB antenna, Antenna punched from tinplate, Antenna printed on plastic in housing, Antenna on ceramic, Slot antennas and many more techniques<br \/>\n\u2013 Antenna with radio module and power supply for extremely low power consumption<br \/>\n\u2013 Assisting in the implementation of the antenna or power supply concept in the fully-featured PCB of the customer<br \/>\n\u2013 Development of the whole PCB including an antenna with software Development by the customer<br \/>\n\u2013 Development of the whole device (HW + SW) following the client\u2019s specifications<br \/>\n\u2013 Reference designs with NB-IoT, LTE-M, GSM, GNSS, BLE, Wi-Fi, MCU, sensors, charging electronics for over 20 applications with an open block diagram and the possibility for customers to develop their own code using a free C compiler<br \/>\n\u2013 Preliminary measurements and tests required for radio certification<br \/>\n\u2013 Radio certification according to RED (CE), FCC and several more standards<br \/>\n\u2013 Workshops at the client\u2019s office or via video conference<br \/>\n\u2013 Training and seminars on radio technology and radio certification<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to receiving your inquiry to harald.naumann (at) lte-modem.com and will be pleased to submit a proposal.
