Primary Technologies

  • Stamped Metal Antennas
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Antennas
  • Molded Interconnect Device (MID) technology using selective electroless metal plating of molded plastic parts to achieve low-cost internal antennas.
  • Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) Technology
  • Active, high performance RF/Microwave antennas

A Molded Interconnect Device (MID) is defined as: "an injection molded plastic substrate which incorporates a conductive circuit pattern, and integrates both mechanical and electrical functions. A MID can be either two or three dimensional and can be applied to a variety of applications. Advances in new materials, two shot injection molding techniques, progressive electroless plating and fine pitch laser technology now can be combined to address stringent requirements and designs. Those would include: RF Connectors, antennas, chip scale packaging, switches, sensors, harnesses, LED holders, lighting fixtures, EMI/RFI shielding & various peripheral components.
