Antenna design for sigfox ready devices recommendation guideSigfox
In this document, several aspects of antenna design and integration are developed. The document focuses on SIGFOX IOT application and small form factor devices.
The importance of implementing a high-performance antenna in a device is demonstrated by analyzing the SIGFOX radio link budget.
Theories are then developed to explain why antennas can be extremely sensitive to their environment and may therefore have varying performance (e.g. when held compared to standing alone). Using the same arguments, it is shown that the same antenna can have different behavior when implemented in two distinct device architectures. This leads to an initial finding that for each device development, a specific antenna design, or at least antenna tuning, must be carried out.
Then, the most important physical parameters that impact antenna characteristics and behavior are presented. Several typical antenna topologies, miniaturization techniques, and manufacturing techniques applicable to SIGFOX IOT applications and small form factor devices are listed.
Advice regarding off-the-shelf antennas is given to explain why antenna performance depicted in datasheets may differ from “real-life implementation” performance.
A selection tool will help the reader to select the best antenna topology for the device, based on several parameters such as expected performance, integration or miniaturization level, and design complexity.
To close the document, a simple method that roughly estimates devices radiated performance is given. This method does not involve very expensive equipment, such as anechoic chambers, and is relatively easy to set up.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
