Kent Britain - Senior RF Engineer
Kent Britain has engineered over 1000 specialty antennas for a broad range
of applications. Custom Antenna Design services, and limited quantities of highly specialized
antennas are available. With a large library of tested designs
to draw from, Kent Electronic can save your research and develpment
dollars, cut your develpment time and have your antenna in production
instead of on the design table.
Antenna testing services are also available.

A few of our custom antennas
Patch Array Antennas
Kent Electronics has produced Patch antennas from 418 MHz to 60
GHz. The practical range for PCB patch antennas is between 1.5
GHz and 10 GHz. Thus far we have developed patch arrays up to 16 elements.
Options include Linear Vertical Polarization, Linear Horizontal
Polarization, Circular Polarization and MIMO. Popular in WiFi, and RFID applications
|
Log Periodic Antenna
Here are examples of Log Periodic Antennas from 300 MHz to 15 GHz
on PC Board. The practical range for PCB LP's is between 700 MHz and 10
GHz. Popular in WiFi, RFID, UWB, and Counter Surveillance
applications.

PCB Yagi Antennas
Thus far we have produced PCB Yagi antennas between 400 MHz and 6
GHz. But the practical range for PCB Yagi's is between 700 MHz
and 2.5 GHz. Designs from 2 to 9 elements have been developed. Popular in
WiFi, RFID, Meter Reading, and other telemetry applications.
|
Vivaldi Antennas
Here are examples of Vivaldi Antennas from 900 MHz to 35 GHz. Their practical frequency range is between 1 GHz and 25 GHz. In receive only
applications, Low Noise amplifiers are easily included in the antenna
artwork. Popular in UWB, Dish Feed, and Counter Surveillance applications.
|
Other Antennas
Other antennas produced run a wide range of antenna designs. From Spiral
Antennas,
to Vivaldi, to Scimitar antennas for wide bandwidths. To
DDRR, Wheels,
Inverted F, Loops, and even slot antennas for narrowband applications.
Yes, we have worked with Fractal Antennas, but their field testing has not
lived up to their hype. And while a Log Periodic does meet the definition
of a Fractal Antenna, we do not have any other Fractal Antennas in
production.
|
Other Circuits
Low Noise Amplifiers, Notch Filters, and even Diplexers or Pass band
filters can be added to the antenna artwork.

PCB Materials
Most of our work is on low cost PCB materials, however specialized
materials with Er's from 1.2 to 10.4 and lower loss tangents can be used.
The Business Side:
Company Names, Logo's and Part Numbers can be incorporated into the PCB
artwork.
With an internally developed library of over 1000 PCB antenna designs, you
will find our
development time very short and our prices very competitive.
After the initial development PCB runs, we offer competitive prices on
production runs.
