The client’s OBD automotive device was experiencing multiple RF antenna performance issues across several key areas: CAT4, LTE with 3G fallback, GPS, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. These performance issues were affecting the reliability of the fleet tracking system.
Field Theory conducted a thorough feasibility study, meticulously analyzing the antenna requirements and overall design challenges. This led to the development of a highly customized antenna solution tailored to meet the precise needs of the client’s device. The study also informed improvements in the product’s overall design, resulting in a more integrated and effective RF architecture.
The client successfully released a second-generation product that featured a 20% smaller form factor while delivering significant RF performance enhancements. The improved design directly addressed all RF issues, thanks to Field Theory’s focus on precision and customization, making the product much more reliable and efficient for fleet tracking applications.
