Research & Development
2J Antennas combines engineering expertise, advanced tools, and in-house capabilities to support the full antenna development process.
From early-stage concepts to validated designs, our R&D activities focus on delivering reliable, high-performance antenna solutions for real-world applications.
Engineering Expertise
Our multidisciplinary engineering team brings experience across key technical areas:
- RF engineering
- Antenna design and development
- Mechanical design
- Quality and certification
- Manufacturing processes and moulding
This combination allows us to address complex design challenges across the entire product lifecycle.
R&D Focus Areas
Our development activities are structured around three key areas:
Future Antennas
We continuously monitor emerging technologies, standards, and requirements to develop antenna solutions for next-generation applications.
Integration
We support customers during the design phase by providing guidance on antenna placement, system integration, and performance optimisation. To date, 2J Antennas has supported integration across hundreds of device types and applications.
Custom Antennas
Our engineering teams develop antenna solutions tailored to specific customer requirements, supporting applications across IoT, industrial systems, automotive, and other demanding environments.
Advanced Testing & Development Tools
To ensure accurate design and validation, we utilise advanced RF and development equipment:
Anechoic Chambers
Located in Slovakia, the UK, and the USA, our Satimo anechoic chambers support both active and passive testing, enabling precise and repeatable RF measurements.
RF Measurement Equipment
Our facilities include a wide range of RF instruments used for antenna development and validation, including:
- Network analysers
- Spectrum analysers
- Radio communication testers
- Power amplifiers and low-noise amplifiers
Simulation & Design Tools
We use 2D and 3D simulation tools to model antenna performance, optimise designs, and generate schematics and production data during the development phase.
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping plays a key role in accelerating development and reducing risk.
Using 3D printing and in-house manufacturing capabilities, we can quickly produce and test:
- Antenna housings and mechanical components
- Rigid PCB antennas
- Flexible PCB antennas
- Cable assemblies and connector configurations
This allows multiple design iterations to be evaluated quickly, improving final performance and reducing time to market.
From Concept to Validation
By combining simulation, prototyping, and RF testing, 2J Antennas supports the full development cycle, from concept through to validated design.
This integrated approach enables faster development, improved reliability, and efficient transition into production.
