900/1800 MHz cellular window-mount antenna

30 January 2002 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Poynting Antennas has recently launched a new antenna for use with cellular hands-free kits. This antenna was made using a novel manufacturing method patented by Poynting, allowing the company to reduce the cost of the antenna to US$ 3,75 for large quantities.

The dual band antenna is manufactured using the solder in plastic (SIP) technology unique to Poynting Antennas. It involves filling pre-moulded plastic cavities or tracks with solder, replacing metal stamping and/or PCB implementations. The advantages of this production technique are:

* Low cost of materials.

* Fast turn-around of high product volumes.

* Small number of assembly steps.

* High manufacturing reliability (good QA).

* Three dimensional structures can be manufactured.

The housing and radiator are combined into one product (the plastic housing into which solder is injected). The indentations or cavities within an enclosure provides the radiator and other electrical parts at negligible additional cost.

The GSM antenna covers the GSM, PCS, GSM1800, AMPS/CDMA/TDMA/PHS/ cellular bands. The antenna (115 x 20 x 4 mm) was designed to be attached on the window of a vehicle. The gain is 2 dBi and VSWR less than 2:1. It is supplied with 2,5 m of RG174 cable terminated in a FME female connector.

Poynting Antennas, situated in Wynberg, Johannesburg, supplies industry with electromagnetic engineering research and development services and products.
