📢 Why do body-worn wireless devices deserve an antenna specifically designed for this purpose? Download our free guide for all the answers. AntennaWare CTO Dr Matthew Magill has written the first dedicated guide to antenna selection for body-worn wireless devices, covering the four failure modes of conventional antennas, why free-space datasheets mislead, and a five-criteria framework for evaluating any antenna against real deployment demands. Free to download, for RF engineers, hardware designers, system architects, and product managers working on body-worn wireless applications: https://lnkd.in/dSucFgaE Attending electronica 2026?

Attending electronica 2026? Visit AntennaWare in Hall C2 Booth 608 to experience the live antenna performance tests that reveal what datasheets don't. Most antennas are characterized in free space, but that's not where wearables and many industrial devices operate. When a PIFA or chip antenna is placed in close proximity to body tissue or metal, two things happen: impedance stability degrades as the antenna detunes, and radiation efficiency drops as power is absorbed by the platform. The result is unpredictable wireless performance in the exact conditions your device will actually be used in. At our stand, we'll demonstrate these effects live, comparing BodyWave™ and Omni-Wave™ against commonly used PIFA and chip antennas on difficult platforms. The difference in impedance stability and radiation efficiency is visible in real time. If you're designing wireless products for body-worn or metal-adjacent applications, this is the test your antenna selection decision should be based on. 📅 Book a meeting with our engineers at Hall C2, Booth 608 https://lnkd.in/dzzHu4ff 📖 Why do wearables and bodyworn wireless devices need an antenna designed for this purpose?

Designing UWB body-worn RTLS applications? You may be losing your best assets as soon as they turn their backs... Visit the AntennaWare booth at electronica 2026 to experience a new level of accuracy achievable for body-worn RTLS applications. AntennaWare has partnered with SynchronicIT, experts in localization and ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, to address the body-blocking challenges that undermine UWB accuracy and reliability in non-line-of-sight (NLoS) conditions. Our patented BodyWave™ antenna technology combined with SynchronicIT's omlox Tag Stack typically delivers 6–12dB link budget improvements in NLoS conditions, resulting in more accurate localization for body-worn applications. And the new SFM11 UWB modules makes it simple to integrate the technology into your application. 📍Book a meeting with our engineers at electronica 2026, Hall C2 Booth 608: https://lnkd.in/dySBYsGU
