NXP Makes UHF PCB Antenna Design as Easy as 1, 2, 3
|
- New design tool helps electronics manufacturers implement
RFID technology
Eindhoven, Netherlands, August 19, 2013
– Electronic equipment manufacturers wanting to embed
RFID technology in their products
are now able to do so without needing deep UHF antenna design experience
thanks to NXP Semiconductors’ (NASDAQ: NXPI) new online software tool.
The
RFID – PCB Antenna Designer tool helps implement antennas on a printed
circuit board (PCB) in the UHF frequency range (840-960 MHz). UHF
antenna design is more complex than a typical HF antenna design and
needs an expert understanding of the electronic design constraints.
With the RFID – PCB Antenna Designer customers can simply input parameters,
such as space available on the PCB, target performance, board materials,
and target frequency range in the region of application to receive a
turnkey UHF antenna design for their specific application. Additionally,
the tool offers a comprehensive overview of all the features of the
UCODE portfolio, enabling designers to select the right UCODE product
for their application.
Facts/Highlights:
RFID – PCB Antenna Designer online software tool speeds up RFID
implementation in electronics equipment:
-
Enables
easy UHF antenna design on PCBs
- User friendly interface helps non-RFID experts design high performance
antennas
- Customized and application-specific antenna design
Produced with support from leading engineering companies,
CST (Computer Simulation
Technology) and Transim,
the online design tool is available to use now:
- CST develops high performance software
for the simulation of electromagnetic fields in all frequency bands
- Transim delivers innovative cloud application engineering solutions
for online design support in the electronics industry
The online RFID – PCB Antenna Designer tool currently supports the following
packages:
