REVOLUTIONARY RIC CABLE-AS-ANTENNA TECHNOLOGY

High-performance micro cable with integrated Bluetooth antenna

  • Lowers power consumption
    Removes unnecessary and power-consuming RF components
  • Saves PCB space
    Frees up area by moving antenna out of the hearing aid device
  • Bendable with shape memory
    Highly ductile micro cable for reliable daily use

With the es-Linum® Bluetooth Antenna, antenna and signal are combined in one micro cable, reducing system complexity, lowering energy use, and unlocking new design freedom for hearing aid development.

Built-in Bluetooth antenna

Revolutionary formable micro cable with built-in Bluetooth antenna. A true breakthrough combining antenna and conductors in one ultra-compact, patent-pending cable design.

Lower power consumption

Reduces overall power draw through fewer RF components. Enables longer battery life and simpler, more efficient circuit design.

Space-saving RIC design

Frees up PCB and housing space for compact RIC designs. Eliminates the need for separate antenna modules inside the shell.

 

Simplified architecture

Reduces component count and speeds
development. Streamlines design and tuning
in tight-fitting hearing aid layouts.

Shape-retaining cable

Highly bendable cable with firm shape retention. Resists mechanical fatigue and supports reliable daily use.

Reliable performance

Reliable performance from development to daily use. Built for consistent quality and cost efficiency throughout the product lifecycle.

High-tech cable with integrated antenna for RIC

The es-Linum® Antenna is a cutting-edge cable designed for seamless integration into Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) hearing aids. 

Built on the same advanced shielding principles as the es-Linum® Shielded Cable, the es-Linum® Antenna combines micro-scale mechanical design with precise RF engineering.

The cable features a precisely tuned antenna section, matched to the Bluetooth wavelength and incorporating a carefully engineered gap in the shield that defines the antenna endpoint.
This design enables the cable to function both as a high-performance signal carrier (with 2–8 conductors) and as a directly integrated 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz Bluetooth antenna

The new antenna cable solution builds on the well-documented es-Linum® platform, founded on more than 30 years of expertise in micro connections.

Free up space with integrated antenna

By embedding the antenna within the cable itself, es-Linum® Antenna eliminates the need for additional space inside the hearing aid, making it an ideal solution for compact, high-tech designs without compromising performance. Applications: For use in Hearing Aids with Bluetooth connection, portable medical devices.
