At CES 2019, Antenova will be showcasing a development kit for a certified Cat4/LTE design. CES 2019 is scheduled to be held from January 08-11 at Las Vegas, Nevada.
LTE Category 4 (Cat4) is the next step in 4G LTE device capability. A Cat4 device uses two antennas – a main antenna for transmitting and receiving, and a second antenna for receiving only. The two antennas radiate in different pattern directions which means they can provide a good signal in any orientation, as the unit is moved around or turned.
The kit gives designers a short cut to a successful Cat4 design and certifications, which can otherwise be difficult to achieve. The Kit part number is SR4L059-DVK-1 - it uses two of Antenova’s ‘Inversa’ LTE antennas which cover the cellular frequencies 698-798, 824-960,1710-2170, 2300-2400, and 2500-2690MHz. Antenova will supply the complete kit with artwork, circuit and reference designs. This can be used as a development kit or it can be plugged into a computer to test another design.
Since full testing is required to pass certifications, the Antenova kit is battery powered enabling the device to be tested in an anechoic chamber.
Antenova will be present at #Booth 2220 in the Westgate Hall at the CES event.
