Self-Adhesive Rigid PCB Antennas

Self-Adhesive Rigid PCB Antennas with Reflector Technology

Antenova’s self-adhesive rigid PCB antennas provide compact internal antenna solutions with reflector technology designed to simplify integration across different device environments. Their rigid construction maintains a defined antenna form, while the integrated cable enables direct connection to the host device. A key advantage of the reflector design is the ability to position the antenna against different materials, including plastic, metal and PCB surfaces, without detuning caused by the mounting material.

When should I choose a self-adhesive rigid PCB antenna?

These antennas are particularly useful where the surrounding mechanical design makes conventional antenna placement challenging. Their reflector technology provides greater freedom in selecting the mounting position because the antenna can be placed against plastic, metal or PCB surfaces while maintaining its intended tuning.

Self-adhesive mounting simplifies attachment within the device without additional mechanical fixing hardware, while the cable provides a direct connection between the antenna and host PCB.

Antenova offers these specialised rigid PCB solutions for selected wireless applications, including GNSS supporting GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and Galileo L1, as well as 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi / Bluetooth®.

What should you consider when integrating these antennas?

Although reflector technology provides greater flexibility around the mounting material, the complete device environment should still be considered during integration. Available space, antenna orientation, cable routing and surrounding components remain important elements of the finished product design.

Following the integration recommendations for the selected antenna helps ensure that its position and connection are implemented consistently within the finished device.

Why choose Antenova?

Antenova develops compact antenna technologies that help engineers overcome challenging RF integration constraints. Our self-adhesive rigid PCB antennas with reflector technology provide a specialised solution for selected GNSS and 2.4 GHz wireless applications where flexible placement against different host materials can simplify device integration.
