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.

The STM32N6x7 family is STMicroelectronics newest and most powerful STM32 MCU to date and the first to come with their Neural-ART Accelerator.
Industrial and embedded applications are required to operate under increasingly more stringent conditions, deployed with tighter constraints on space and budgets, and under harsher environments. To meet these demands, Harwin have announced an expansion of the popular Kontrol range of industrial board-to-board interconnects (BBi), by adding single row connectors and cables to the 1.27mm pitch (0.05") connectors. The expansion of the range has been designed to bridge the gap between high-end connectors and established pin header and socket solutions.
Looking for connectors that combine space-saving design, robust performance, and long-term durability? HIROSE Electric Co. Ltd, a global leader in connector technology, brings you the KM32 Series Wire-to-Board connectors – engineered to meet the toughest demands of automotive and industrial applications.
