Consumer pressure for slimmer, design-conscious mobile handsets continues to rise. Responding quickly to those pressures requires device designers that take advantage of every possible low profile component technology.

Fractus is continually evolving its technology portfolio with new antenna miniaturisation technologies to deliver among the lowest profile mobile antennas available today. Fractus patented ground plane technology for example enables Fractus to tune the resonance of the PCB, delivering improved performance in the lower frequencies and reducing the profile of quadband and pentaband mobile antennas.

With typical PIFA antennas seven to eight millimetres thick, Fractus is delivering mobile antennas less than 4mm thick - to enable some of the thinnest cell phones available today.

One handset developer was designing a slim bar handset 14mm thick, 30% slimmer than typical bar phones. Fractus used its proprietary Fracplane® technology and extensive internal antenna design expertise to develop a low profile triband antenna just 3.2mm thick.

Another manufacturer developing a 15mm bar handset faced issues because of a large, 19mm diameter loudspeaker directly below the antenna. There was just 5mm available for antenna height. Fractus delivered a triband antenna with greater than 30% efficiency at GSM 900 and over 40% at GSM 1800 and PCS 1900.
