Product development service using a range of unique low
cost antenna technologies
ERA offers a custom product development service for Fixed
Wireless Access applications, designing antennas that precisely
meet specific client requirements. ERA offers a range of innovative
low cost antenna technologies which provide customers with
the best compromise between cost and performance.
For low frequency applications, ERA can provide unique flat
plate antenna designs which use no dielectric materials, hence
reducing the production costs of antennas is a minimum. We
can also offer low cost phase shifter technology, making it
possible to consider scanning antennas for high volume commercial
applications for the first time.
For higher frequency applications above about 15GHz, ERA
offers its proven twist reflector
technology (pdf available), which has a number of unique
characteristics when compared to conventional alternatives:
|
|
Simple construction and
alignment, based on two metallised plastic parts |
|
|
Simple integration of antenna
and housing |
|
|
Excellent cross-polar and
backlobe performance |
|
|
Low profile |
This technology has already been used in applications at
23, 28 and 42GHz and antennas are currently being developed
for the 60-80GHz bands.
