Overview

Irrespective of the RF/wireless technology used in a product, embedding the antenna into the product design can reduce the overall product cost and size. With experience designing embedded products featuring technologies such as Bluetooth, RFID, NFC and LoRa to multi-band GSM, 3G, 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi and UWB systems, Outdid Unified has the expertise to provide RF Antenna Design Services that cater to myriad product needs.

The antenna often is one of the key reasons for the failure of an RF or wireless design. The need for an RF antenna design offering top-class performance is often overlooked during the product ID design stage.

There is a direct tradeoff between antenna performance and mechanical constraints. Focus on a custom RF antenna design at the onset of the project will offer optimal RF performance and ensure a faster time to market.
