Taoglas, a provider of advanced RF and antenna solutions, has upgraded its Antenna Integrator software with new AI-assisted modelling features, reflecting the growing role of artificial intelligence in connected-device design.
The update, part of Taoglas’ AntennaXpert suite, adds nine new PCB shape templates, including circular, triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, L- and U-shaped, stepped, and fully custom geometries. Engineers can now also simulate the impact of large metallic components, such as batteries or displays, on antenna performance.
New export options – 3D STEP, PDF, DXF, and JPG – aim to simplify collaboration between electrical and mechanical design teams, while three additional antennas, NLA.01, DLA.01, and PCS.62, expand the tool’s library. These enhancements follow earlier updates this year that introduced Ultra-Wideband support and broader performance data.
The move comes as the global IoT antenna market is poised for significant growth. ABI Research forecasts shipments will reach 13 billion units by 2030, driven by AI-enabled design workflows and demand for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular connectivity. The consultancy highlighted Taoglas’ Antenna Integrator as a leading example of digital tools helping engineers manage increasingly complex antenna designs.
“Engineers need faster, smarter ways to deliver reliable connectivity as devices pack in more radios and functionality,” said Dermot O’Shea, Taoglas’ Chief Executive. “With Antenna Integrator, design teams can model real-world layouts, account for surrounding components, and select the right products to achieve optimal performance from the outset.”
The tool allows engineers to visualise and optimise antenna performance early in development, providing rapid reporting – typically within 24 hours – to reduce iterations and accelerate time to market.
