LoRaWAN PCB Antenna Key Data

  • Client: Anonymous in Europe
  • Website: –
  • IoT application: Universal LoRaWAN sensor for Europe and USA
  • Employed radio technology: LoRaWAN
  • Frequency range: 868, 915 MHz
  • Type of antenna: Inverted F-antenna with capacitive switching
  • Task: Range improvement and coverage of both frequency bands
  • Solution: L-antenna replaced by inverted F-antenna with switching
  • Special feature: One sensor now covers Europe and USA

European client sought a solution for their LoRaWAN sensor. The device needed to work in Europe and the USA. The L-antenna was not good enough. We developed an inverted F-antenna with capacitive switching. It offers:

  1. Greater range
  2. Coverage of 868 MHz (Europe) and 915 MHz (USA)
  3. Automatic frequency adjustment

Technical details:

  • The inverted F-antenna uses the circuit board as a counterpoise. This increases efficiency.
  • The capacitive switching adjusts the resonance frequency. One antenna covers both bands.
  • The compact design fits into small enclosures.

The solution convinces through:

  • Cost savings: One sensor instead of two variants
  • Significantly improved range
  • Global usability
