The world doesn't work without wireless—and that's no easy feat
Antennas guide electromagnetic waves to unguided electromagnetic waves and vice versa. To work for the connected home, they also have to exist amongst an array of devices with wireless protocols driven by range, data usage requirement or power consumption. Antenna design depends on:
Communication frequency
Antenna patterns and shapes have to be designed to match a specific frequency or bandwidth. Higher data rates require more power and higher frequency.
Antenna location
Antennas can be mounted onto PCBs, embedded into coaxial cables, ruggedised for exposure to weather and harsh environments or sit completely outside of a smart device.
Size, shape of deployment
The desired location of the antenna dictates not only the different antenna choices, but also materials and shapes.
Use case for consumers
How you use the antenna impacts a device's aesthetic and design in order to create optimal performance.
That’s just the antennas. A sampling of components for the Connected Home ranges from I/Os to plug connectors, modular jacks, connectors and microminiatures.
