Partner Modules
Modules using AntennaWare technology, made by our partners.
Some products need a module, not a custom antenna design. Our partners build AntennaWare technology into modules you can specify and buy directly.
SFM11-MOD by SynchronicIT
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) optimized for body-worn applications.
The SFM11-MOD module is built around the fully integrated and programmable NXP Trimension (TM) SR048. This module offers self-contained Ultra-Wideband (UWB) networking capabilities, adhering to the IEEE 802.15.4z standard. The SR048 integrates a microcontroller, security extensions, and UWB radio circuitry, making it an efficient solution for various applications
Designed specifically for mobile, wearable electronics, this module offers UWB networking capabilities with minimal external components. It features all the necessary decoupling capacitors to stabilize internal voltages and utilizes a dedicated antenna for UWB signal transmission and reception. The module's compact size of approximately 24x15mm and connections on both sides with 50mil (1.27mm) spacing enhance its versatility.

BodyWave™ Antenna Technology
Body blocking is a persistent challenge with wireless wearables. This happens when the human body blocks the antenna's wireless transmission path, causing the signal to weaken or drop out as the radio waves are either reflected or absorbed by the body.
BodyWave™ solves this by generating waves that flow efficiently around the body, maintaining and supporting a stable communication link even when the body is blocking the direct signal path.
Compact and Powerful
The BodyWave™ antenna is an on-ground Surface Mount Device (SMD) antenna component that is optimized for wearable applications. It can produce body waves that facilitate wireless communications when there is no direct line of sight with on-body or off-body receivers.
Our BodyWave™ antenna technology is designed specifically for wearable applications. Compared to commercially available, off-the-shelf chip and print antennas, BodyWave™ increases coverage in directions typically obstructed by the human body, with an increased Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) link budget of 6-12dB.
The BodyWave™ Antenna Range
360° Coverage
BodyWave™ helps reduce drop-outs, giving excellent range and reliability for body-mounted devices subject to shadowing in unpredictable and dynamic applications.
Efficiency
The antenna maintains high radiation efficiency for its miniature size, even when close to the human body or mounted on very small ground planes.
Repeatability
Designed for wearable applications which can cause unpredictable wireless performance, the antenna is resistant to detuning caused by human body proximity.
Power
BodyWave™ dramatically reduces power consumption when compared to high transmission (Tx) power-hungry amplifier solutions currently used to address body shadowing.
Real-time Data
BodyWave™ antenna technology offers reliable real-time data acquisition, enabling full-story analysis and comprehensive reporting for critical applications.
Rapid Deployment
Fully compatible with existing chipsets, our seamless integration process and product support enable rapid deployment with minimal radio frequency (RF) expertise.
Compact Size
A compact form factor enables easy incorporation into miniaturized, low-profile wearable devices, ensuring seamless compatibility and optimal performance.
Cost
A single antenna system reduces materials by eliminating the need for amplifiers, simplifying design and enabling cost-effective production for wearables.
Enabling the Next Generation of Wearables
By reducing detrimental Non-Line-of-Sight effects, BodyWave™ facilitates many previously impossible applications with enhanced range, reliability, and 360-degree coverage for real-time data acquisition and wireless localization.
