Microstrip Passive Patches

Microstrip Passive Patches

Maxtena is the leader for GPS passive and active patch antennas. We are offering innovative rugged microstrip solutions for an optimized wireless system. Maxtena offers a diverse array of patch sizes, ranging from 10mm to 35mm with the flexibility to finely tune each patch to align precisely with the center frequency inside the device. Our microstrip technology solutions have been integrated in more than thirty thousand devices worldwide. Some of the devices include unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), animal and human tracking applications, consumer electronics and specialized military devices.

We are pioneering the optimization of the microstrip antenna by using proper electromagnetic grounding schemes to optimize solutions for the highest efficiency and axial ratio purity. Our technology incorporates the ground plane and creates highly optimized solutions for the application. Microstrip antennas are typically low performance and do not give the desired performance to the customer in more complex integrations where the antenna ground plane is reduced, or other parts of the device are interfering. This results in significantly lower efficiency and deteriorated axial ratio purity. We offer a technology that uses an electromagnetically co-optimized antenna and ground plane combination that enhances the system performance.

Our microstrip technology is typically used in devices where size is at premium, and performance and battery life are secondary considerations. Typical platforms have unconventional ground planes and require a high degree of customization. Microstrip technology can be used for variety of applications associated with global navigational satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, etc.).
