Antenova Ltd, a leading manufacturer of antennas and RF antenna modules for M2M and the Internet of Things (IoT), has introduced three flexible FPC antennas to its new flexiiANT® range which are ideal for applications in industrial and consumer electronics.
Two of the antennas, named Dromus and Amoris are high performance dual band Wi-Fi antennas operating on the 2.4-2.5GHz and 4.9-5.9GHz wireless bands, including Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/j/n/ac. They are suitable for access points, portable electronics, PC cards, games consoles, set-top boxes, network devices, and wearable technology. The Wi-Fi antennas are available in two different dimensions so engineers are able to select the best fit and performance for their wireless product.
The third antenna, named Montana operates in the ISM bands of 863-870MHz and 902-928MHz. This antenna is ideal for use in industrial products including remote sensors, smart metering, medical devices, monitoring equipment, lighting, security and automotive applications.
The flexiiANT® flexible FPC antennas are just 0.15mm thick and are supplied with a peel-back self-adhesive area to fix them inside a small electronic device, in various configurations.
They are supplied complete with a cable and a connector to attach them to the underside covering or housing of a manufacturer’s electronic product. Each antenna weighs less than 0.5g.
The three new antennas can be connected into the IPEX MHF (UFL) mating connector on a host PCB or wireless module, and are effectively “plug and play”. Antenova’s design team adopts a philosophy of Design For Integration (DFI) – an approach to antenna design which puts the integration into the customer’s device right at the heart of the design process. Antenova also provides technical assistance to customers during the testing stages of the design process.
Dromus, Amoris and Montana are the first three antennas to ship from Antenova’s new family of “flexiiANT” products, which was announced in 2015. Their product names follow the company’s tradition of naming each antenna after a species of ant from around the globe.

STMicroelectronics are powering the next generation of Industry 4.0 applications with a new vibration-sensing solution optimized to enable smart maintenance of factory equipment. The IIS3DWB is a system-in-package MEMS sensor featuring a 3-axis digital vibration sensor with low noise over an ultra-wide and flat frequency range. The wide bandwidth, low noise, very stable and repeatable sensitivity, together with the capability of operating over an extended temperature range (up to +105 °C), make the device particularly suitable for vibration monitoring in industrial applications.
