IoT antennas: mechanical and environmental considerations
Understanding the various materials, mechanical components and environmental conditions when integrating antennas with an IoT device is critical to the success of any connected solution. Plastics, adhesives and potting materials should all be carefully considered before antennas selection - so too should connectors, cables, IP ratings and requirements for temperature range and hazardous substances. This unique Masterclass examines the range of conditions our antenna types can support and the best way to test and integrate them into IoT devices.
