The Freetrack Antenna Kit consists of five PCB antenna designs.
The FreeTtack Antenna Kit consists of five PCB antenna designs, each implementing a different radiating topology on a standardized 55×85 mm substrate. The kit is intended for RF engineers, researchers, and developers who need to characterize antenna performance, study the effect of ground plane size, or select the most suitable antenna topology for a given application.
The kit contains different antenna designs:
All five designs share a common board architecture: a U.FL feed connector, a matching network, a calibration sub-board carrying OPEN, LOAD, and SHORT standards, and solder areas that allow the effective ground plane to be extended or reduced using copper foil. This makes it straightforward to measure each antenna under identical conditions and compare results directly.
For each antenna the design data is provided (Kicad and Altium Designer).
Each Kit comes with a 100 EUR coupon for Embever's IoT Academy course: "PCB antennas for embedded engineers".
