Embedded antenna portfolio
Embedded Antennas:
Chip, PCB, FPC and Ceramic Patch
Embedded antennas for cellular, GPS/GNSS and IoT devices. Compare chip, PCB, FPC and ceramic patch formats, then match the antenna to the board, ground plane and enclosure.
About the products
Embedded antennas designed around the host device
An internal antenna does not work in isolation. Board dimensions, ground clearance, enclosure material, battery position and cable routing all affect RF performance. Our portfolio covers on-board and off-board embedded antenna formats for cellular and GPS/GNSS applications, with custom cable, connector and tuning support for OEM projects.

Need help choosing a GNSS or patch antenna?
Tell us your device size, ground plane, constellation, cable and mounting requirements. We can help match active, passive or embedded GNSS antenna options.
The enclosure is part of the RF design
Datasheet performance assumes a defined test board and antenna clearance. The final device can shift resonance and reduce efficiency, so integration should be checked in the assembled enclosure.
- Ground plane: confirm dimensions and the antenna reference layout.
- Keep-out area: separate the antenna from batteries, shields and displays.
- Enclosure: evaluate plastic, coatings, metal hardware and cable routing.
- Final tuning: verify matching, efficiency and radiation pattern before certification.
Embedded antenna FAQ
Questions engineers ask before selection
What is an embedded antenna?
An embedded or internal antenna is installed inside the host product as a chip, PCB element, FPC antenna or ceramic patch instead of being mounted outside the enclosure.
Chip, PCB, FPC or ceramic patch—which should I use?
Choose a chip antenna for a small component footprint, PCB for an integrated printed design, FPC for flexible placement, and ceramic patch for sky-facing GPS/GNSS positioning.
Why does an internal antenna underperform its datasheet?
The final ground plane, enclosure, battery, display, cable and nearby metal change antenna impedance and efficiency. Test and tune the complete assembled device.
What information should I send for a recommendation?
Send the target bands, board dimensions, ground area, enclosure material, available antenna space, connector or cable requirements and certification market.
OEM / ODM antenna support
Need an embedded antenna matched to your device?
Send the bands, PCB dimensions, ground area and enclosure drawing. We can recommend a starting antenna and discuss connector, cable and tuning requirements.
