What We Offer

Design

Proven design expertise, we can design your NFC/EMV antenna, whether it’s for a reader or a wearable.  We focus on custom designs tailored for you product, including wire wound antennas,  PCB antennas and Flex-PCB antennas.  We understand the influence of the environment and enclosure address that in the design.

Matching

We have the experience matching antennas for optimal power transfer, whether reader or wearable. This is one of the most critical tasks affecting antenna performance and we know what it takes.  We understand the various matching designs, balanced and un-balanced.  We understand power trade-offs and RF front-end limitations.

Testing

We fully test our designs to ensure they meet your performance requirements.  We have the necessary ISO and EMV test equipment to ensure that your antenna achieves the power transfer requirements and wave shape requirements.   We understand that this is not just the antenna alone but must include the actual RF front end that will be used in the product.

Wearables & Readers

We can design the your wearable antenna or your reader antenna.  These are not the same designs and do not have the same requirements.  We know the differences.  Addressing features like Active Load Modulation for wearables and Dynamic Power Control for readers is part of our service.
