TDK and OriginGPS have announced a new collaboration whereby customers utilizing OriginGPS Spider modules will receive increased support to integrate TDK antennas into their designs. Existing reference designs coupled with TDK’s extensive Electromagnetic (EM) simulation capabilities will allow customers to maximize GNSS performance.
According to Gal Jacobi, CEO of OriginGPS -
Gal Jacobi, CEO of OriginGPS said they are very excited to be working with TDK to provide best-in-class location modules to their customer. By joining designs of their products with TDK’s small form factor chip antennas, customers will be able to get a firsthand understanding of how their GNSS solutions pack the world’s smallest footprint and add functionality to a wide range of wearables and other Internet of Things devices that require low profile miniaturized chip antennas.
This collaboration pairs OriginGPS’ smallest GNSS receiver modules, including the recently unveiled Multi Micro Spider, with the smallest chip antennas by TDK to deliver a “mini + mighty” solution for wearables that represents the best of both worlds: combining TDK’s specialized RF simulation capabilities with OriginGPS’ GNSS expertise and support.
This new collaboration also benefits OriginGPS customers. Those who purchase Spider product line modules for their wearables can now use them in conjunction with TDK antennas to meet specific requirements while minimizing design time, and receive TDK’s support for best-in-class antenna matching and simulations.
Tuomo Katajamaki, Product Manager, RF Components of TDK said - Customers can effectively see for themselves the advanced location capabilities that are possible by pairing OriginGPS’ GNSS modules with TDK omni-directional antennas, creating a unique solution for wearable applications that balances efficiency with their small form factor.
