QuantalRF Increases Design Efficiency with DockOn Antennas in Synopsys Libraries

At the forefront of RF semiconductor and antenna innovation, QuantalRF has recently unveiled a remarkable integration of its DockOn® antennas into the Synopsys simulation environment. Unveiled at CES 2026, this development promises to revolutionize RF engineers' workflow by enabling high efficiency and accelerated design processes. This integration directly supports Ansys HFSS™, a cutting-edge software for high-frequency electromagnetic simulations.

The introduction of QuantalRF's DockOn antennas into the HFSS libraries allows engineers to leverage powerful models, fostering a more straightforward path to create next-generation wireless designs. With these models, users can gain a competitive edge by achieving fast and accurate system-level simulations. By significantly enhancing the simulation capabilities, the DockOn antennas promise to streamline the design cycle, ultimately reducing time-to-market for various wireless applications.

QuantalRF's DockOn antennas are engineered using innovative compound planar loop (CPL) technology, boasting impressive power efficiency levels of up to 90%. Additionally, these antennas ensure stable connectivity through their omnidirectional radiation patterns. One of the standout features is the antennas' outstanding isolation capabilities, a critical element for MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems that demand high coexistence performance.

Specializing in Wi-Fi applications for mobile and access-point scenarios, these antennas are also set to expand their range to cover standards for GNSS, UWB, ISM, and 5G in future models. Their compact form factor allows them to be directly printed onto standard PCBs, making them ideal for a wide array of applications, such as Wi-Fi access points, wearables, smart home devices, smart meters, and power-efficient IoT nodes.

Within the Ansys HFSS library, these antenna models are structurally designed to be fully scalable. This flexibility permits engineers to tailor models according to the requirements of their distinct projects. The DockOn antennas can be incorporated as black-box external components for system simulations, or QuantalRF offers services for engineers to modify these models for embedded solutions.

Dave Aichele, Executive Vice President of Sales and Business Development at QuantalRF, emphasizes the necessity of integrating such antennas within the HFSS framework. He states, "RF design cycles are under increasing pressure to meet performance specifications, accelerate timelines, and optimize costs. By integrating our antennas into HFSS, we streamline the process for engineers to simulate and fine-tune their antenna designs to achieve optimal performance for end-user systems."

This strategic partnership with Synopsys not only broadens the component libraries available to engineers but also underlines the commitment to providing comprehensive system design solutions. Synopsys’ Principal Product Manager Sara Louie noted, “Adding innovative products like QuantalRF's antennas strengthens the breadth of our component libraries, ensuring that engineering teams can deliver faster and more robust designs."
