Antenova unveils free tool to optimise antenna placement on PCBs Antenova, the UK manufacturer of antennas and RF antenna modules, has created a new software tool to help designers place antennas in a wireless design. The tool displays the optimum position for embedded antennas on the PCB, depending upon the dimensions of the PCB and the specifications of the antennas. It places each individual antenna on the PCB in the best location for signal strength. Antenova has developed this tool to assist product designers who do not have access to antenna skills in-house. The tool is intended to help designers in placing the antenna in the best position early in the design process and achieve a working wireless design more easily. It can be used for one single antenna, or up to three antennas.
