Industries we power
From global smart metering to ultra-compact wearables, Ignion´s Virtual Antenna® solution delivers proven performance where traditional antennas fall short.
The proof is in the performance
| Metric | Virtual Antenna® Solution | Traditional Chip/FPC Antennas |
|---|---|---|
| Multiband / Multi-radio support | One component covers LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS, Wi-Fi, BLE. | Typically narrow-band, often requires multiple elements or redesigns for new radios. |
| Antenna efficiency in small devices | Up to 70% efficiency on compact boards with better range. | As low as 7% (low band), ~40% (high band) on small PCBs. |
| GNSS time-to-first-fix | Omnidirectional radiation with acquisition in any orientation. | Many need upright positioning requires slower fixes, lost signals. |
| Certification success rate | 85–95% first-pass success with stronger TRP across bands. | Multiple tuning iterations increases delays & added cost. |
| PCB real estate | Ultra-small SMD footprint, no large keep-out zones. | Sticker/FPC antennas often need >20mm clearance. |
| Design speed & tuning | Matching tweaks + tuned BOM to cut NPI by 8–12 weeks. | Iterative build-test-adjust means long cycles. |
| BOM & supply chain | One SKU replaces many, SMT pick-and-place assembly. | Multiple SKUs per region/radio increases sourcing complexity. |
What is Virtual Antenna® technology?
An antenna innovation pioneered by Ignion, composed of the following:
Antenna Booster
A non-resonant component that radiates efficiently across multiple frequency bands, integrating with minimal space requirements.
Tunable Matching Network
Ensures optimal impedance matching for maximum power transfer across varied frequency bands, simplifying antenna design.
PCB Ground Plane
Enhances radiation efficiency by maximizing the antenna's electrical length, increasing the effective radiated power (ERP), especially in compact devices.
Backed by real-life performance metrics
PhD Experts for smarter design & certification
Passive antenna matching & 3D radiation validation
Accurate impedance matching, efficiency tuning, and full 3D radiation measurements to validate real-world antenna behavior before DVT.
Cellular active OTA performance testing
(TRP & TIS)
Full TRP/TIS characterization across required bands to ensure your device meets carrier and CTIA performance thresholds before formal certification.
Radiated spurious emissions identification & noise mitigation
Locate and eliminate radiated spurious emissions that degrade sensitivity or cause certification failures, ensuring clean performance across all radios.
