Integrated antennas design for IoT devices - Jordi Balcells (IMST) - The Things Conference 2019

Integrated antennas design for IoT devices.
The design of integrated antennas for IoT devices is not as trivial as it seems. Off-the-shelf antennas are not performing as expected because different effects within the device (total dimensions, materials, housing, etc.). The proposed presentation aims to clarify typical antenna concepts and to highlight those parameters to be considered in earlier stages when designing a device with an integrated antenna.
Jordi Balcells-Ventura received the M.Sc and Ph.D degrees in Telecommunications Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, in 2004 and 2011 respectively. Since 2011 he is with the department of Antennas and EM Modelling of IMST GmbH, where he is an antenna researcher engineer, involved in several industrial and public founded projects. He has experience in the complete process of antenna design, including specifications, design, electromagnetic simulations, manufacturing, measurements and final analysis. These antennas targeted different bands and applications such as RFID (13.56 MHz), VHF (127 MHz) ISM (868 MHz), GPS (1.575 GHz), Wlan (2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz), Satellite communications (X-band and Ka-band), WPAN (W-band).
