has been able to eliminate the require- ment for a designated ground keep out
area through optimization of materi- als (ceramics and inks), manufactur- ing processes and RF circuit design. The new 2.4 GHz antenna can
now be mounted directly onto the metal ground plane. The product measures 0.08 x 0.2 in. (2 x 5 mm) and is designed for coin cell battery- operated IoT, 2.4 BLE, wearable, ISM, ZigBee, and 802.11-standard applications where metal, a battery or display covers the entire length or side of the PCB. “With PCB real estate at a prime,
the size and placement of the chip antenna is critical, because as every- thing gets smaller it becomes increas- ingly difficult to place more compo- nents on the board,” explains Car - mona. “Therefore, design engineers are looking to component manufacturers to deliver miniaturized solutions that occupy next to no real board space.” The design of the antenna itself is
also critical to its range and perform- ance. With medical devices, radio interference or some other glitch could result in interrupted connectivity. There can be legal ramifications
as well. As with any wireless device, products that utilize RF technology, including Bluetooth, to collect or transmit information are subject to regulation by the Federal Commu - nications Commission (FCC). There - fore it is mandatory that the device perform at the designated frequency. Design and placement of the antenna is vital to proper tuning. Despite the critical nature of the antenna, Carmona says it is often

overlooked until late in the design process, at which point optimal anten- na performance may not be achiev- able within the space provided. To assist with chip antenna
design and selection, Johanson Technology offers a program where design engineers can send in a miniaturized device and the compa- ny will tune the antenna for opti- mum functionality.
Johanson’s newest chip antennas can be mounted
directly to a metal ground plane. “A chip antenna that can be
mounted over a ground plane opens up many applications for products to incorporate wireless technology,” says Carmona. “To date, we have received everything from smart shirt buttons to jewelry and other wear- ables in various shapes and sizes.” Contact: Johanson Technology,

Joral Intros Sensor Fusion Inclinometer
Mukwonago, WI — Joral, LLC, has introduced a g-force compensated inclinometer that provides feedback for pitch, yaw and roll. The new tech- nology utilizes sensor fusion, which is the combining of more than one complementary sensing method. The new SGAM and DGAM incline sen- sors take input by a gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer to provide a three-axis output for x, y,
and z, as well as new feedback for pitch, yaw and roll. The GAM series sensor provides
steady feedback during motion, allowing users to eliminate complex sensor networks with a single g-force compensated inclinometer. Rather than depending on encoders, string pots, laser gates, and proximity sen- sors to monitor the position of a lad- der, fork or platform, users can place one Joral GAM series sensor on the application to get real-time feedback for absolute control. Joral has designed the same

level strength into the GAM series as other standard Joral products. Rated with a standard environmental pro- tection of IP67, the GAM series sen- sors are completely encapsulated. Designed to eliminate the drawback of accelerometer-based incline sen- sors, the SGAM and DGAM incli- nometers are J1939-compatible, and available in a convenient form factor with common connection options.
