**NEW** Polytenna’s Millimeter-wave / 5G Antenna Modules Available for Early Adopters
Polytenna’s Low-cost Ultra-wideband
Polymer Antennas
Polytenna develops low-cost, extreme broadband polymer-based antennas for emerging millimeter-wave mass-markets. A main product focus is developing mmWave 5G repeaters for Frequency Range 2 (FR2) using our antennas (dual n258/n257 bands (24.25-29.5 GHz), and n260 band (37-40 GHz)). We also have ultra-wideband designs (FULL 57-71 GHz, 14 GHz coverage in a single antenna), for unlicensed 60 GHz WiFi/VR devices and large range consumer/automotive (ACAM) radar sensors.

Other mmWave Bands
Other mmWave bands in the 37-40 GHz and 57-71 GHz range, as well as larger form-factor arrays are available on request, please contact us to discuss your requirements
5G Applications
Polytenna has worked with a number of OEMs/T1s around the world using our polymer antennas for these applications, including developments for mmWave/5G modules in Korea and Japan, large panel 5G Access Points in the USA, and integrated 5G beamsteering and radar modules in Germany/Austria. Currently we are partnered with a Canadian company developing mmWave 5G repeaters (dual n258/n257 and n260 bands) using our connectorized antenna modules.
Polymer Antenna
Advantages
There are 2 main advantages of our polymer antenna technology, 1) “best-in-class” broadband and multi-band coverage in the 6 – 81 GHz region; 2) low-cost polymer-based fabrication scalable to high volumes using commercial molding equipment and compatible materials. Specifically, our polymer antennas offer:
- Ultra-wide band frequency coverage (typ. up to 25-30% bandwidth)
- Flat gain response (Typ. < 1 dB variation across wide-band)
- Dual n258/n257 band (FR2: 24.25-27.5 GHz / 26.5-29.5 GHz) in a single antenna
- Multiband FR2 (dual n257/n260: 26.5-29.5 GHz / 37-40 GHz) in a single antenna
- Low power loss and high efficiency (typ. > 80%) at mmWave due to lack of metal loss
- Low profile polymer antenna layers (typ. thickness < 3 mm) for compact designs
- Polymer antenna layer can form the outer device packaging and/or act as a radome
- Light-weight polymer-based materials
- Low-cost polymer mass-fabrication using commercial molding
- Various formats including arrayable surface-mount (SMT) and connectorized antennas
