Frequently Asked Questions
Wavelength 360 specializes in custom antenna design and manufacturing. We provide tailored antenna solutions based on your specific operational requirements, ensuring optimal performance for your unique applications. From concept to model delivery, we’re your partner in achieving precise wireless connectivity.
While off-the-shelf antennas may work for general purposes, a custom-designed antenna is tailored precisely to your project’s unique frequency, gain, polarization, beamwidth, and environmental requirements. This ensures superior performance, lower interference, extended range, and greater reliability, particularly in specialized applications like IoT, 5G, satellite communication, RFID, aerospace, and defense.
In addition, having a custom antenna design file is financially beneficial. You can fabricate the antenna directly from the 3D model, avoiding the extra cost of purchasing a finished product. This gives you full control over the production process, reduces material waste, and allows you to build the antenna yourself—an efficient solution for prototyping, low-volume production, or integration into custom hardware.
We design a wide range of custom antennas, including but not limited to:
- Dipole antennas
- Monopole antennas
- Microstrip antennas
- Patch antennas
- Horn antennas
- Waveguide antennas
- Yagi-Uda antennas
- Helical antennas
- Loop antennas
- Fractal antennas
- Parabolic reflector antennas (Dish antennas)
- Array antennas
- Phase array antennas
- Beam steering antennas
- Embedded antennas
We work across various frequency bands, from UHF, VHF, and microwave to millimeter-wave (mmWave).
Our custom antenna solutions cater to a diverse range of industries, including:
- Consumer electronics
- IoT and smart devices
- UAVs and drones
- Medical devices
- Automotive and EVs
- Startup companies
- Satellite and space applications
- Scientific research

Antenna Design Process FAQ
It depends on your request—you can receive the formats you prefer. In general, you may receive:
- 3D design model files (CAD, STL, or STEP format)
- Simulation results (S11, gain, 2D and 3D radiation patterns)
- Gerber files (for PCB antennas)
- Step-by-step antenna fabrication guide
- 3D printing-ready files
- Technical report (upon request)
The duration of a custom antenna design project depends on the complexity of your specifications. For simpler designs—such as single-band patch antennas or monopoles—the process may take just a few business days. More advanced antennas, like multi-band, phased array, or high-frequency millimeter-wave designs, may require additional time for simulation, tuning, and optimization.
At Wavelength 360, we always aim to meet your project deadlines. Our team will provide you with a clear timeline in the proposal stage and work efficiently to deliver your custom antenna design as quickly as possible—without compromising quality.
Our services at Wavelength 360 are not limited to full antenna designs. You can also request the design of specific antenna components to fit your project needs. We offer design solutions for:
- Impedance matching circuits
- RF connectors and transitions
- Waveguide to microstrip transitions
- Microstrip to coplanar waveguide (CPW) conversions
- Baluns and feeding networks
Whether you need a full custom antenna or just a specific RF component, we can help.
The antenna is a critical component of any wireless system, directly affecting signal quality, range, and overall performance. To ensure optimal results, the best approach is to use a custom-designed antenna that matches your specific project requirements—such as frequency band, size constraints, gain, and application type.
At Wavelength 360, we provide a fast and professional online antenna design service. No matter where you are in the world, you can easily submit your antenna requirements, and our engineering team will deliver a high-quality 3D antenna model, design files, and simulation results in a short time.
Choosing the right antenna depends on many factors such as frequency, range, size constraints, and application. Each antenna type (e.g., patch, dipole, monopole, helical, loop) offers different performance characteristics and physical sizes.
At Wavelength 360, you don’t need to worry about selecting the antenna type yourself. Our experienced antenna design engineers will analyze your project requirements and recommend or design the most suitable antenna for your application.
If your device is already using an antenna but you’re not getting the desired signal quality or range, Wavelength 360 can help. Our services are not limited to new antenna design — we also offer antenna performance optimization and consulting.
We can analyze your current antenna setup and provide design improvements or modifications to enhance:
- Return loss (S11)
- Gain and radiation pattern
- Efficiency and bandwidth
- Matching and integration with your PCB or enclosure
