Taoglas launched the patent pending FXUB65 Minima compact, ultra wideband flexible LTE antenna covering 2G, 3G and 4G bands in the 700–2700 MHz spectrum for wireless device designers in the IoT industry.
“The challenge that designers have been facing of creating enough space for an antenna that gets 100 channels or more within the confines of a wireless device hasn’t been successfully addressed until now,” explains Jason Dorsey, senior antenna engineer at Taoglas. “Including the lower 700 MHz band generally warrants a large antenna. We have succeeded in making a smaller antenna without performance compromises.”
The FXUB65 Minima enables designers to use only one antenna, yet cover all frequencies globally for cellular LTE, with fallback. The IoT and M2M market is one that places a premium on compactness. At 67 x 58 x 0,2 mm, a compact geometric design lends the FXUB65 typical efficiency of more than 50% across the low bands, and more than 64% across the high bands, achieving a 2 dB and 1 dB nominal margin over carrier requirements. Its design also assures a powerful isotropic pattern and allows the antenna to perform efficiently at distances as little as 20 mm from a ground plane. Another feature is its low susceptibility to cable routing and variances in cable lengths compared to similar types of antenna.
With its built-in excess bandwidth, the Minima avoids any negative performance effects of non-metal surfaces it is adhered to, and is not affected by variations in surface thickness. Assembled with a simple ‘peel and stick’ process, it attaches securely via 3M adhesive. It comes complete with cable and connector for easy installation, readily accommodates varying cable lengths and terminations, and is delivered with a standard or customisable cable and connector to make connecting to the wireless module or customer PCB easy.
