This white paper will provide a thorough discussion on how the RF performance of the antenna impacts the power efficiency of the wireless device. This in-depth discussion explains the insights of the antenna design and selection guideline during the product development phases of the devices.
Optimize Antenna Performance to Enhance IoT Device Power Efficiency
Billions of wireless IoT devices rely on battery power in a wide range of applications that include asset tracking, logistics, agricultural environment sensing, and smart utility monitoring, etc. In many of these applications, the devices are deployed in the fields for long periods of time without human intervention. These devices, operatingon a single battery, are required to stay wirelessly connected to provide continuous service with a lifetime of 5 years to 10 years without replacing the battery. Therefore, power consumption of these IoT devices becomes critically important to the life expectancy of these devices and the uninterrupted service expected.
