 Magnetic Loop Antenna for Parking SensorsÂ
- Client: none, design study for optimisation
- Website: –
- IoT application: Wireless parking sensors for smart cities
- Wireless technology used: LoRa, Bluetooth
- Frequency range: 868, 915, 2400 MHz
- Type of antennas: PCB-integrated magnetic loop antenna
- Task: Improvement of range and elimination of hand effect
- Solution: Replacement of electric L-antenna for 868 / 915 MHz with magnetic loop antenna
- Special feature: Free implementation directly on the PCB
We optimised a parking sensor. The classic L-antenna had to give way. Instead, we integrated a magnetic loop antenna directly into the circuit board.
The result is convincing:
1. Better range
2. No more hand effect
3. Zero additional costs
The technical details:
- Works for 868/915 MHz (LoRa) and 2.4 GHz (Bluetooth)
- Outperforms electric chip and PCB track antennas
- Efficiently uses existing copper tracks
Advantages of the magnetic loop antenna:
- Less susceptible to detuning by surrounding objects
- Ideal for confined spaces
- Simplified production without additional components
This solution is particularly suitable for LPWAN applications such as LoRa, Sigfox or Mioty. It offers superior performance whilst reducing costs.
