MIMO embedded antenna

29 October 2014 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Leading machine-to-machine (M2M) and internet-of-things (IoT) antenna provider Taoglas is enabling true 2x2 LTE Advanced systems with embedded antennas with the launch of a new Gemini antenna series.

The Gemini allows integration of two complementary antennas, the PA.710.A Warrior and the PA.711.A side by side or on opposite sides of the board. This allows a device to meet all global carrier requirements for efficiency, isolation, ECC and device TRP.

Two LTE, septa-band, surface-mount antenna (SMT) antennas can be placed as close as 10 mm apart, achieving less than 10 dbi of isolation. OEMs and wireless device designers can thus meet LTE Advanced 2x2 MIMO isolation and efficiency requirements for two antennas in tight spaces rather than requiring larger antennas and devices in order to overcome pervasive noise and isolation problems.

The PA.710.A and PA.711.A Warriors are multiband antennas that covers all worldwide cellular bands from 700 MHz to 960 MHz and 1710 MHz to 2170 MHz for GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, DCS, PCS, UMTS, HSDPA, GPRS, EDGE and LTE. The PA710.A works on its own as an LTE-only antenna and the 711 joins in when MIMO is required.

The antennas are delivered on tape and reel and can be surface mounted, saving on assembly costs and delivering greater performance consistency. They can both be mounted on one edge of a board, freeing up space so that manufacturers can design smaller devices.

With no customisation required, development times are dramatically reduced. Customers can match the antenna by simply changing the matching circuit.

They are made of dense, high-grade ceramic and are very robust and durable for use in extreme environments.
