Move on to another company.  In my opinion, any company that is not
helpful and (specially) does not return emails is not worth my patience,
time and money.

Subject: [EE] Fractal chip antennas


Does anyone have any experience with chip antennas? I'm designing a
handheld GPS as a commercial product and am keen on chip antennas
given their small size. I've been looking at these:

http://www.fractus.com/1575ghz.htm

I have an evaluation kit for it but Fractus seem very unhelpful with
information on how to design the chip antennas into an actual product.
They mutter about patents on their web page but seem keen to be paid
lots of money to do the design themselves rather than letting people
do the design themselves. They also don't answer their email.

Can anyone offer any pointers to help me design for chip antennas? Or
given that Fractus are being so unhelpful am I wasting my time with
them? Does anyone know of alternate chip antenna suppliers? Or any
recommendations for alternative very small GPS antennas?

Thanks,
Zik
