Embedded antennas play a key role in creating smart products; they offer efficient connectivity that enhances the integration of smart technology in various devices

The development of embedded antennas works by external excitation using an active antenna, which modifies the memory of the chip connected to the printed design. This pioneering design offers a unique solution for the incorporation of antennas into products, especially those made of composite materials such as glass-fibre reinforced polymer.

By using the external excitation provided by an active antenna, the printed antenna no longer needs internal power. This makes it an attractive option for a variety of applications; from smart labels to inventory tracking systems in industrial environments.

This process enables data reading and writing in the product on which the antenna is located, opening up endless possibilities for interaction with everyday products. For example, this technology could be used to track product information in a supply chain.

The experts behind this technology highlight its versatility and its potential to transform the way we interact with the world around us. In addition, by integrating glass-fibre reinforced polymer, the antenna is strong and durable, making it an ideal solution for a variety of environments and applications.

This breakthrough in antenna printing opens up opportunities for the Internet of Things (IoT), smart logistics and product personalisation. Businesses and consumers can look forward to a new era of enhanced connectivity and functionality thanks to this cutting-edge technology.
