The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) is the inter-networking of devices and these devices are typically connected through a wireless link.
The exploding use of IOT technology is placing new requirements on antenna design and performance with space, cost, and speed-of-integration as key components in the design, manufacture and use of IoT wireless systems. This evolution is across almost every imaginable segment including, but not limited to connected home, industrial, automation, medical, transportation, and consumer applications, with annual growth rates expected above 20%.
This growth in IoT will place growing demand for dual-band, multi-band, ultra-wide band, GPS, cellular and other antennas. The performance of an antenna within the device is directly linked to the total system performance of the device. A properly designed and integrated antenna will improve data rates, increase range, improve safety and security, and overall offer an improved user experience.
