Real-World Performance and Implementation
Ceramic antennas may look alike on the outside, but
the important difference is inside. Other antennas
may contain simple PiFA or monopole designs that
interact with their surroundings, complicating layout
or changing performance with use position.
Ethertronics antennas utilize patented IMD
technology to deliver a unique size and performance
combination.
Stays in Tune
High RF isolation means
IMD antennas resist de-
tuning regardless of
usage position. And
one standardized part
can typically be placed
in a variety of locations.
Smallest Effective Size
IMD antennas require a
smaller keep-out area for surrounding components,
leading to a smaller effective size.
High Performance
IMDs high efficiency and simple design rules lower
development risk and speed time-to-market without
sacrificing performance. Plus, high RF selectivity
eliminates the cost and space for band-pass circuitry.
