Antenna design is one of the most challenging and important parts of a cellular IoT product. It can affect both the power consumption and the overall quality of the design. We recommend considering this early in the design process.
In this webinar, Nordic Semiconductor and Ignion go through the best practices for embedding an antenna into a cellular IoT design of any size, to ensure that it not only passes cellular certification but improves the quality of the final product.
We go through how the antenna performance is influenced by PCB size, materials in proximity, and show how you can easily assess the feasibility of your design through the "Antenna Intelligence Cloud", before building any hardware.
This is an introduction to topics covered by Ignions design guide: ignion.io/landing-page/ns-hw-design-guide
Agenda:
00:00 Introduction
03:39 Why antenna design is crucial for a successful IoT product
07:12 Live demo use of "Antenna Intelligence Cloud" (AIC) for a Nordic device
15:32 Best practices for cellular IoT antenna design
36:13 How to easily get started with Nordic & Ignion
38:02 Q&A
