Flexible global cellular antenna solution
Virtual Antenna® technology maintains stable multiband performance across global cellular bands in compact, multi-radio designs.
How Ignion solves cellular integration challenges
Multiband coverage in low frequencies and small devices
Single antenna covering global cellular bands with up to ~70 % radiation efficiency on compact PCBs.
Extended RF design cycles, iterative tuning and multiple SKU management
Automated tuning process streamlines integration and minimizes design iterations, resulting in reduced RF design cycles for various regional SKU deployment.
Performance drop in integrated cellular + GNSS/BT designs
Strong RF performance helps achieve carrier and regional certification targets by sustaining stable, multiband efficiency during multi-radio operation.
Devices powered by Virtual Antenna® technology
From smart meters, IoT modules, asset trackers, wearables, SatIoT and NTN-enabled devices.
Validate before production
Achieve up to 95% first-pass certification success
Cellular Active OTA Performance Testing
Verify TRP, TIS, and band-wide efficiency under real operating conditions before carrier and regulatory labs.
Active Device RSE Identification and Mitigation
Detect spurious emissions and desense sources that impact cellular sensitivity and compliance margins.
Antenna Matching & 3D Pattern Validation
Optimize impedance matching and validate radiation stability across low and mid cellular bands (700 MHz–3.8 GHz).

Active Antenna Solution in the Nordic Thingy:91 X
Shatter the size/performance barrier at low frequencies:
- Up to +3 dB low-band gain (<1 GHz)* via MIPI-controlled tuning.
- Wide tuning to 3 GHz covering 2G/3G, LTE-M/NB-IoT, 5G RedCap, and NTN.
- Real-time impedance optimization for higher efficiency on compact, multi-radio PCBs.
*vs. passive antenna setups of the same size
Validate Before Layout
Use Oxion™ to simulate multi-band antenna performance and reduce integration risk before prototypes.
