Top 10 Antenna Design Considerations

Among many of the design capabilities required for designing wireless products, antenna design is undoubtedly one of the most unique. It is a piece of hardware that creates simplicity and intricacy and is of great importance and yet is often overlooked. Small wireless devices, being a special subset of the entire wireless device family, usually require customized, miniaturized and concealed antennas, which pose additional challenges for product designers across a range of products, including IoT devices, M2M devices, medical devices and mobile handsets.
As an introduction to antenna design for small wireless products, this white paper discusses ten of the top antenna design considerations Digi WDS engineers feel are important to understand for anyone involved in wireless device design.
