Expand the connectivity of your LoRa Generic Node sensor with Virtual Antenna™
summary
Claim: tiny off‑the‑shelf antenna boosters reduce antenna volume 10x smaller than traditional designs while supporting multiband and multi‑radio operation across roughly 600 MHz–10.6 GHz. Example implementation uses one MX-10 7×3×1 mm on a corner ground plane and achieves measured total efficiency near 90% on a 131 mm² board after tuning. Design workflow uses automatic matching‑network synthesis in Microwave Office/ADS/CST and iterative simulation, and a fast track service <24 hours can return placement, BOM and matching network.
