Hepta-band M2M antenna

11 November 2009 Electronics Technology

Taoglas announced the availability of its flexible circuit antenna, the FXP.14.

This ground-plane independent antenna is compact, making it suitable for small M2M devices in tracking, navigation, automotive and telemedical markets.

The hepta-band antenna delivers efficiency of over 50% on all cellular bands 850, 900, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100 MHz and GPS for GSM, CDMA, DCS, PCS, WCDMA, UMTS, HSPA, GPRS and EDGE. It also features 1575 MHz for cellular or CDMA modules with AGPS. The FXP.14 covers all worldwide cellular markets and is compatible with the complete range of M2M modules, particularly modules that require a connector.

The FXP.14 delivers high performance, resulting in reliable connection to the network, high sensitivity particularly in low signal areas and high data throughput rates. It also helps lower device power consumption and enhances transmission. Network approvals are easier to pass, and the probability of radiated spurious emissions lessened, allowing for a quicker and inexpensive route to market.

The FXP.14 does not take up board space; by using the same technique as in most high-end mobile phones, the antenna is placed directly on the underside of the plastic housing of the device using high grade 3M adhesive. The flexible substrate is conformable to the curves of the housing and extremely low profile at only 0,1 mm in depth.
