CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND: Antenova Ltd, the integrated antenna and RF solutions company, has secured more than 35 new design wins with its market leading GPS RADIONOVA RF antenna modules.
Antenova further announced that GPS RADIONOVA enabled devices, which include smart phones, PNDs, PDAs, micro trackers, personal trackers, auto vehicle locators (AVLs), data loggers and other mobile devices, will be in volume mass production in 2010.
“GPS RADIONOVA RF Antenna Modules are fully integrated and optimized drop-in solutions that offer both development and time-to-market advantages for device manufacturers looking to add GPS functionality into their mobile devices,” stated Greg McCray, CEO of Antenova.
“Integration of the antenna, GPS receiver IC and RF front-end components provides optimized performance, placement flexibility and reduced BOM costs -- thus making it a lower risk and simpler solution for device manufactures to design into their own hardware solutions. And with location rapidly becoming a pervasive application, even outside of the traditional personal navigation devices,
“GPS RADIONOVA is an attractive solution for companies looking to shorten design cycles and/or with little or no RF resource.”
Antenova’s GPS RADIONOVA range of RF Antenna Modules comes in space saving, low profile form factors in vertical (M10214, M10163), planar (M10264, M10295) and clip mount (M10300) options. Antenova’s patented complementary antenna technology enables GPS RADIONOVA RF antenna modules to operate independent of ground plane size or placement and are omni-directional, making them an ideal solution for mobile devices that operate in varying orientations.
The high performing and low power consumption modules offer optimal performance for smartphones, PNDs, PDA’s, portable media players (PMPs), personal trackers/safety devices, wrist watches, ultra mobile personal computers (UMPCs), mobile internet devices (MIDs) and plug-in accessories such as smart cards and USB dongles.
McCray added: “Antenova is committed to providing customers the broadest range of high performing, lowest cost drop-in module solutions to accelerate the development of GPS enabled mobile devices.
“Our ongoing collaboration with leading GPS IC vendors provides the highest degree of integration and optimized performance required for the new generation of GPS enabled mobile communication and wireless consumer electronic devices. Antenova’s RADIONOVA RF antenna modules provide customers the cost benefits of a standard component coupled with design flexibility that can be used across multiple product designs.”

Connexion2 selects Antenova’s RADIONOVA M10214 GPS RF antenna module
CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND: Antenova Ltd, the integrated antenna and RF solutions company, announced that Connexion2, manufacturers of the award winning Identicom lone worker device, has selected Antenova’s RADIONOVA M10214 GPS RF Antenna Module for its Identicom i757 and i777 models.
"Accuracy, reliability and low power consumption are essential performance requirements for any personal safety device," stated Greg McCray. "The high performance and quick-fix accuracy of the M10214 RF Antenna Module has enabled Connexion2 to meet customer demand to add greater location accuracy for mobile workers, particularly those constantly on the move and in higher risk jobs such as traffic wardens, district nurses, paramedics and cash in transit operatives.
"The small size and low profile of the M10214 vertical mount form factor has enabled Connexion2 to add GPS to the i757 and i777 models in the same thin and discreet ID card format as in their non-GPS models."
"Antenova’s M10214 GPS RF Antenna Module is a complete GPS system solution, including all the RF and antenna in an easy to integrated compact module," stated Craig Swallow, CEO of Connexion2. "The size, accuracy and reliable performance of the module coupled with the fact that it easily integrated into our existing design and form factor made it the ideal choice for adding GPS to our Identicom lone worker devices."
Antenova’s GPS RADIONOVA M10214 RF Antenna Module is a complete GPS system solution in a compact, low profile form factor suitable for embedded mobile device applications.
M10214 combines the SiRF GSC3LTf low power GPS receiver IC with Antenova’s high efficiency complementary antenna technology and all front-end components (e.g. low noise amplifier, SAW filters and TCXO) in a single package, fully integrated laminate base module for optimum performance.
RADIONOVA M10214 operates on a single 3.6V positive bias supply with low power consumption and available low power modes for further power savings. M10214 is supported by SiRF’s GPS software suite and uses a UART/SPI host processor interface. The low profile connector and optional PCB cut-out allow the small 43x9x4mm3 single package module to be vertically mounted with a low 6mm height requirement.

Antenova adds cellular Penta-band SMD antennae
CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND: Antenova Ltd, the integrated antenna and RF solutions company, announced the addition of two new cellular penta-band SMD antennae to the gigaNOVA range of market proven surface mount antennae.
Designed for ease of integration into wireless devices, the Reflexus A10315 and Calvus A10340 antennas are ideally suited for an extensive range of embedded cellular applications such mobile handsets, femto base stations, vehicle tracking, remote monitoring and other M2M applications.
“There has been strong demand for high performing and easy to integrate standard cellular antennas for the ever expanding wireless device market,” stated Greg McCray, CEO of Antenova.
“Both Reflexus and Calvus are high performance penta-band antennas offering the ease of integration benefits of a surface mountable device that has not been offered in the industry until now. Reflexus A10315 antenna which incorporates Antenova’s patented complementary antenna technology is extremely resistant to de-tuning and offers reliable, robust, performance across all device applications.
"Calvus is an SMD version of our existing Flavus GSM internal snap-in antenna, offering Flavus customers the same good performance with the flexibility to switch to an SMD device if required. These standard penta-band antennas offer design flexibility and are particularly suited for module makers targeting the growing M2M market and device manufacturers looking to add cellular connectivity into their products.”
Reflexus A10315 is a high efficiency penta-band cellular SMD antenna suitable for GSM, GPRS and UMTS applications and covers the GSM850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA frequencies. Reflexus’s complementary antenna structure provides excellent resistance to de-tuning and offers predictable performance in customer devices.
Reflexus A10315 is a compact 40x10x3.2 mm3 size antenna intended for surface mounting and requires minimal ground plane. Calvus A10340 penta-band antenna is a surface mountable version of Antenova’s popular Flavus snap-in cellular antenna suitable for GSM, GPRS and UMTS applications and also covers the GSM850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA frequencies.
Calvus is a very compact 27x8x3.2 mm3 size antenna intended for surface mounting and requires minimal ground plane to operate efficiently. Both Reflexus and Calvus are supplied in tape on reel and available for volume purchase through Antenova’s global network of leading distributors and agents.
Antenova offers the gigaNOVA range of market leading antenna solutions for 2.3 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 5 GHz, GPS, GSM and ISM900 bands. gigaNOVA standard antennas are small and designed for easy integration into wireless devices and are the smart choice for GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, WiBro, ZigBee, MIMO and cellular M2M applications.
Antenova also offers a full range of development support and RF testing to help reduce customization, design costs and accelerate time-to-market.
