The Omni-Wave™ antenna is the lowest profile omni-directional antenna designed for placement on metal. By maintaining its omni-directional radiation pattern even when placed in very close proximity to metal platforms, Omni-Wave™ combines the typical performance of monopole antennas with the ease of integration of printed and chip antennas.

Omni-Wave™ maintains an omni-directional radiation pattern when placed in close proximity to metal
The Omni-Wave™ antenna is an on-ground Surface Mount Device (SMD) antenna component with a low profile structure that is optimized for placement on metal platforms. Unlike traditional printed antennas, the Omni-Wave™ antenna is agnostic to the platform on which it is placed. It maintains omni-directional radiation over a horizontal plane when placed in close proximity to metal, achieving communication performance in line with typical monopole antennas.
Omni-Wave™ is suited to a broad range of applications where reliable, continuous connectivity is critical. The close proximity of metal typically compromises the reliability of alternative low-profile antennas. Monopole antennas are widely used for these use cases, but the form factor is sub-optimal, lacking in mechanical robustness or aesthetics. The Omni-Wave™ is optimized for IoT deployments.
Standard low profile antennas experience large nulls in the radiation caused by shadowing from conductive surfaces. Omni-Wave™ helps reduce drop-out giving excellent range and reliability in unpredictable and dynamic applications.
The antenna has high radiation efficiency despite its low profile, even in close proximity with any surface and on conductive ground planes.
The Omni-Wave™ antenna is extremely resistant to detuning caused by close conductive surface proximity, a major issue with printed and chip antennas that can cause unpredictable wireless performance.
Fully compatible with existing chipsets. Our seamless integration process and product support get you up and running quickly with minimal RF expertise.
Efficient power usage next to a range of conductive surfaces.
Omni-Wave™ antenna technology ensures reliable real-time data acquisition for full-story analysis and reporting.
A compact low-profile form factor makes Omni-Wave™ easily integrated into devices, removing the need for protruding monopole antennas.
Reduced maintenance and repair costs on PCB integration, removing the need for external coaxial connectors.
The success of AntennaWare has been built on working with our partners as we deliver solutions for more reliable and robust wireless devices and systems.
With the reduction in the detrimental impact of conductive surfaces, many previously impossible applications can now be realised. The increased range, reliability, and 360-degree coverage enable a wide range of applications, particularly in real-time data acquisition and monitoring.
