Antenova announces two
flexible antennas: Bentoni and
Asper for positioning
applications with GNSS and
2.4-2.5GHz
Antenova Ltd, manufacturer of
antennas and RF antenna modules
for M2M and the Internet of Things,
is adding two new positioning
antennas, Bentoni and Asper, to its
range of flexible FPC antennas.
Bentoni is a positioning antenna
for all of the global public satellite
constellations: GPS, GLONASS,
Beidou and GALILEO. It is designed
to be used in trackers, portable
devices, network components,
drones and wearable electronics.
Asper is a dual antenna with two
separate antenna systems in a
single form factor. It combines a
1559 – 1609 MHz antenna with a
2.4 – 2.5 GHz antenna in the same
part for positioning applications
with wireless connectivity as well.
This antenna is suitable for sports
cameras, trackers, dash cams,
portable devices, network devices
and wearable electronics.
Both
antennas
offer
high
performance and maintain good
isolation in situ within a device.
Bentoni and Asper are the latest
flexible FPC antennas in Antenova’s
flexiiANT product range. They
are supplied with an I-PEX MHF
connector and a 1.13 mm RF cable
in a choice of three lengths. They
can be folded to save space in
operation within a device.
Antenova’s antenna design team
aims to create antennas that a
product designer can integrate
with the other circuits in a design
in a convenient way, rather than
designing a product to fit around the
antenna. The aim of these antenna
designs is plug and play simplicity –
they are self-adhesive mounted so
that they can easily be fixed inside
an electronic device.
Bentoni antenna and Asper
antennas are available to order
now..
Infineon Security and RF
Components support
Samsung Galaxy S7 and
Galaxy A smartphone series
Where smartphone manufacturers
differentiate their offers in a highly
competitive market through either
security or performance, Samsung
chooses both. The world market
leader builds its new Samsung
Galaxy S7 and Galaxy A devices
with security and RF (radio
frequency)
components
from
Infineon Technologies AG (FSE:
IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY).
Smartphone owners benefit from low
noise amplifiers (LNA) to antenna
tuners and RF switches enhancing
the data rate and reducing power
consumption. At the same time,
embedded Secure Element (eSE)
chips
protect
security-critical
functionalities of the mobile device.
They enable secured transfer of
sensitive payment credentials for
contactless payment, convenient
biometric authentication of the
user and new applications such as
mobile ticketing.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is
Samsung’s
latest
premium
smartphone introduced at Mobile
World Congress 2016. The Galaxy
A devices were already launched
in December 2015 and are being
rolled out worldwide.
Trailblazer for mobile payment
Embedded Secure Elements are
becoming a mainstream security
solution for NFC (Near Field
Communication)
applications.
According to IHS estimates the
number of smartphones shipped
with embedded NFC secure
Elements is projected to increase
from 427 million today to 1,620
million in 2020 (NFC Report 2015).
Consumers’
ease-of-use
and
trust in secured mobile services is
expected to significantly increase
the acceptance of mobile payment.
Follow the Snyder family
Smartphones and wearables are
part of our everyday lives. On
the occasion of the Mobile World
Congress, Infineon has followed a
day in the life of the fictitious Snyder
family – also visiting Barcelona.
During the day, the family’s smart
helpers are repeatedly put to use.
It is in this way the reader also
discovers the contribution Infineon
makes with its products in the
areas of security, high frequency,
sensors, power management and
mobile infrastructure. With this, we
make life easier, safer and greener.
