Antenna Selection Guide
Why can’t I achieve my desired range? How do I design and select a suitable antenna for the ISM bands? All these questions and much more can be answered in Radiocrafts’ antenna selection guide.
One of the most common questions we get in our support line is how to get the desired range for the wireless connection. Most of the time, the answer is related to the antenna design. This is largely as a result of the software and digital focus that has been overwhelming the electronics community. The RF competence has been considered a niche competence for a long time now. With IoT, WiFi and Bluetooth, many engineers are forced to go back to the books from the University and read up on RF. For those who do not read up, then mother nature will, with her lack of compromise, show that it is important to also understand the RF part of the wireless communication network.
However, inventing the wheel again is not needed. Radiocrafts has been in the RF business for over 20 years and are happy to share our experience and expertise with you. If you do not want to go back to the old text books but you simply can’t get the desired radio range you need, then take a look at our Antenna Selection Guide White Paper.
This whitepaper shows a pragmatic approach, based on our 20+ years experience of supporting customers in their design and in selecting and designing antennas for the ISM bands. It compares the most common antenna types with an overview on cost, design effort, size and performance. It is written for non-RF engineers and does not include antenna theory itself. The white paper brings out the experience and conclusions needed to point you in the right direction when selecting/designing an antenna for ISM band equipment.
