Your Trusted Solution For Reliable Antenna Impedance Measurements

About Us

When working with many customers over the years, Dicaliant founder Dr Jaakko Juntunen discovered a repeating pattern hampering productive use of simulators in real antenna matching: the impedance measurement reference plane was either poorly characterized or in wrong place. Or the available connectors were just inappropriate for the job 👉!

Our Testimonials

“I’ve recently had a breakthrough here at AntennaWare in modelling our antennas: thanks to your probes and reliable de-embedding I’ve been able to backfit our antenna model to the measurement using a very simple and robust approach. Dicaliant probes have been a life saver for me with the limited time I have to get things done.”

"Our main problem with our smart ring prototype radio interface was the miniature scale of the PCB, causing almost hopeless measurement challenge of the antenna impedance that we had to match to our BT chip's RF output. Thanks to Dicaliant's calibrated pigtails, we could accurately measure the impedance directly at the chip pad and design the matching network with real data. The result was exceptional RF performance in a tiny form factor."

"Dicaliant calibrated pigtails, used in conjunction with the ZAC-measurement process, have provided remarkable agreement between the simulated and measured performance of antenna matching circuits. We have achieved a first-time-right design in cases that would typically require 3-5 design iterations using a traditional approach. This speeds up our lab work and saves valuable prototypes."

We were designing a wideband antenna at 5-6 GHz, and discovered that SMA connector caused a big distortion to the measurement, making the matching of the antenna very difficult. But using Dicaliant pigtail calkit in the measurement, the problem was solved! We got the antenna matched quickly, and validated that the performance was as expected.”
