Metal covers are increasingly popular in mobile devices. Slimmer devices with larger displays require strength and rigidity. Also, from environmental, industrial design and expense points of view, metal covers are very attractive. Metal covers also provide the additional benefit of heat dissipation, generated by the mobile phone´s PAs / processors.

Pulse offers several competitive antenna solutions for metallic mobile device covers:
- Capacitively Fed Antenna match with metallic surfaces
- Metal ring antenna match with metal end caps and rings
- NIFA / NILA antenna match with metal back covers
- CEMPA antenna match with full metal front and back covers

Metal cover solutions typically have some location on the device which is sensitive to the user´s hand. Our antenna solutions for metallic covers are carefully designed to avoid “death grip´ scenarios. Furthermore, the smart antenna technology, developed by Pulse, can detect these scenarios and adapt the antenna to get the best performance in various user cases.

The Pulse Match with Metal Antennas are 3D fitted and can be customised for all mobile devices. They are applicable for existing manufacturing technologies, such as LDS and flex.
