Molex Antenna
The largest volume LDS 3D-MID application is cellular telephone antenna production. LDS is the low cost approach to rapidly translate prototype antenna concepts into testable antenna parts. It is also the best low cost method to mass produce antenna once designs are finalized.
LDS allows rapid iterations of new antenna patterns. The patterns are directly translated from CAD drawings to part using the LPKF software and laser system.
LDS is the key to producing high performance electrically small antenna (HPESA) with low Q, the ratio of energy stored to the energy radiated. 3D LDS antenna can be tuned to a specific frequency by changing the line width, the pathway (length) and the total antenna cross section. The antenna traces conform exactly to the shape of the injection molded carrier or enclosure.
Advantages vs. Traditional Technology
- Antenna patterns go directly from CAD design software and on to carrier
- Rapid prototype turn around, typically three days
- Precise pattern adherence to the carrier contours
- Low cost
Applications include antenna integration into enclosures, military antennas, wearable antennas, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), remote sensors – any application that requires a low weight, high performance, low Q antenna.
