| Development Kits |
 |

It takes time to choose and evaluate the right embedded antenna for an application. Taoglas’ advanced dielectric PIFA antennas (DPA™) can be designed in a range of shapes to fit your board.
The best way to evaluate the Taoglas PA range of miniature ceramic PIFA antenna's is to purchase one of the various development Kits available. The kit includes an Evaluation Board as reference ground plane with an onboard embedded Dielectric PIFA Antenna plus 5 additional Dielectric PIFA antennas.
The frequency can be changed according to your requirements.
| Antenna Tuning and Best Performance |
 |
Antenna and RF design can be difficult at the best of times and, if not tuned correctly, can dramatically affect the performance of your product. Taoglas have extensive experience in designing and testing RF solutions and can help your engineers to get the best possible performance at all times.
Our service offers customers the opportunity to have their products tested at the Taoglas test lab where the antenna's can be fine tuned to exactly suit your products requirements ensuring the best match and performance for your application.
This work normally takes around 2 to 3 weeks and a full report is also supplied.
