Antenova launches new antenna design
Antenova has revealed an innovative new type of antenna. The new technology results from over three years of R&D that has transformed the effect of High Dielectric Antennas (HDAs) from scientific curiosity into completely characterized technology - backed by a design methodology and computer-aided tools. HDAs not only improve the size and performance of antennas - they enable completely new product design possibilities. These include the first practical approach to incorporating 'antenna diversity' into products. Directionality is another possibility, which may be used to foster coexistence of multiple protocols on equipment, to add spatial multiplexing of bandwidth to increase the capacity of wireless networks. more
