Design once, deploy across all regions
Miniaturized, reliable RF for body-worn devices
Wearables face challenging RF conditions but our Virtual Antenna® technology helps solve them from the first layout:
- On-body placement & miniaturization
High efficiency even on sub-40 mm ground plane for compact, body-worn designs.
- Range
Efficient radiation reduces retries and extends Bluetooth® range up to 15%.
- Multi-radio coexistence
Dual/multi-resonant behavior keeps BLE, Wi-Fi, and cellular operating without interference.
- Certification readiness
Predictable antenna behavior and expert reviews streamline FCC/CE/FDA approvals.
Built for wearables. Proven in 100M+ devices.
Why RF leaders choose Ignion
Miniaturized without compromise
Full-band 400–10,600 MHz performance in ultra-compact SMT parts up to 10× smaller than resonant antennas.
Predictable performance even near skin or metal
Resilient to detuning from the body, batteries, plastics, or metal so real-wear link quality stays stable.
Freedom of placement. No layout hostage
Place the antenna anywhere on the PCB without losing performance, even as the mechanical design evolves.
Global scalability with design reuse
Use the same antenna across models and regions, retune the matching network to adapt layouts or bands.
Better range with lower power
High efficiency reduces retries and delivers reliable 20–33 ft (6–10 m) Bluetooth® range in real wear conditions.
Faster certification & coexistence wins
RF layout reviews and pre-screen guidance streamline FCC/CE/FDA approvals and improve coexistence outcomes.
RF headaches solved before they cost you
- Signal loss on-body or inside the enclosure
- On-body-optimized design with adaptive matching restores efficiency near tissue and plastics.
- Limited real-world BLE range in on-body use
- High-efficiency design cuts retransmissions, delivering reliable 20–33 ft (6–10 m) range in real wear conditions.
- Very small ground planes in wearables
- Reliable performance on <=40×40 mm or Ø<=20 mm boards with minor matching tweaks required.
- BLE, Wi-Fi, and cellular radios coupling on small PCBs
- Dual/multi-resonant behavior keeps radios isolated, preventing high-power Wi-Fi signals from desensitizing BLE receivers.
- Delays from FCC/CE/FDA certification issues
- Antenna layout reviews and pre-screen guidance streamline FCC compliance for faster approval.
- Environmental or usage variability affects performance
- Stable RF behavior across temperature, humidity, materials, and real wear conditions.
