Based on Taoglas' proven LTCC technology, the new chip antennas combine high radiation efficiency, a smaller exclusion area than competing solutions, and excellent frequency stability, ensuring consistent performance even in densely integrated multi-radio designs. Each antenna supports automated pick-and-place SMT integration and is supplied in tape and reel formats, simplifying assembly and enabling efficient high-volume production.
The Taoglas ILA.257 is a compact, high-performance LTCC antenna designed for Wi-Fi® 6 and Wi-Fi® 7 applications. It supports tri-band operation across the 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, and 7.125 GHz frequency ranges, providing comprehensive coverage for the latest and emerging wireless standards, including Wi-Fi 6E and later. Measuring only 3.2 × 1.6 × 0.5 mm, it delivers exceptional radiation efficiency and stable signal integrity across all bands, even in high-frequency regions where many on-chip antennas experience degradation. The ILA.257's small size, minimal exclusion area, and low profile make it ideal for ultra-compact devices such as wearables, portable consumer electronics, and industrial IoT modules.
The Taoglas ILA.68 has been specifically designed for UWB applications in the 6 GHz to 8.5 GHz spectrum. Measuring only 3.2 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm, it offers a stable omnidirectional radiation pattern, excellent repeatability, and low insertion loss across all temperature and frequency variations. The ILA.68 supports a wide range of applications, including precision indoor positioning, secure access control, and short-range radar. Its performance-to-size ratio makes it particularly well-suited for automotive sensors, smart home systems, and miniaturized IoT devices that require reliable UWB connectivity in the smallest possible form factor.
The Taoglas ILA.89 is a high-efficiency LTCC chip antenna designed to operate in the 868 MHz and 915 MHz ISM bands. Compatible with European and US frequency allocations, it enables the global deployment of devices using LPWAN and LoRa® technologies. The antenna achieves a radiation efficiency of up to 47.9% and a maximum gain of 0.56 dBi in a compact 4.0 × 12.0 × 1.6 mm footprint, making it ideal for small, battery-powered IoT products with limited PCB space. The ILA.89's simple design requirements and region-specific variants reduce design complexity and time to market, while also lowering the total cost of ownership for OEMs.
The three antennas are designed to help engineers overcome the integration challenges posed by increasingly smaller device dimensions and growing connectivity requirements. Their compact form factor, combined with Taoglas' expertise in LTCC, delivers exceptional RF performance, mechanical robustness, and repeatability in high-density electronic designs.
“Miniaturizing devices remains a challenge for RF designers,” says Baha Badran, Engineering Director at Taoglas. “Our new embedded LTCC antennas combine the proven performance of ceramics with a space-saving design that simplifies integration without compromising efficiency or reliability. This range enables product designers to create smaller, smarter, and confidently connected systems.”.
