Laminated Film Antennas for LTE
Through Yokowo's investigations, the most optimal Antenna Mounting Location was determined. Yokowo proposed the optimal Antenna and Mounting Location, resulting in improved communications
- Findings
- Brought the Vending Machine into our in-house Anechoic Chamber for measuring Radio Waves and conducted Antenna Performance Measurements for the 800MHz/1.5GHz/2.0GHz, the common Frequency Bands used for 3G/LTE. The Antenna's Locations were verified with one Location on the Vending Machine's exterior and three Locations within the Vending Machine's interior
