Antenova has announced three brand new flexible printed circuit antennas to cover the 3G, 4G and LTE bands. These brand new products are their first flexible antennas for 4G and LTE. This set of three antennas offers options for all of the world’s 4G and LTE bands, as well as a choice of antenna shape and size.
The Mitis, part number SRFL026, and Moseni, part number SRFL029, have been developed for 4G and LTE applications, including MIMO. The Zhengi, part no SRFC015, covers all of the 3G and 4G LTE bands B7 (2500-2690MHz) and B30, B40 (2300-2400GHz), including LTE Bands B7, B30, B38, B40 and B41.
They have designed these FPC antennas so that they can be folded and inserted inside a small electronic device, where they can operate flat, folded or curved. The antennas can be placed vertically, horizontally or co-planar to the PCB, and are ideal for use in applications where there may not be room for an SMD antenna.
They come with an IPEX MHF (UFL) cable, in a choice of three lengths for easy connection to a wireless module – making them effectively plug and play antennas, particularly as they can be integrated without matching. Each antenna has a peel-back self-adhesive backing to fix it in place – which means they can easily be placed in a design, in the desired position, and they can be retro-fitted to earlier designs.
These three new antennas belong to Antenova’s flexiiANT range of antennas, which was introduced last year. They also offers flexiiANT solutions for 3G, ISM, GNSS, Bluetooth and Wireless LAN.
These Mitis, Moseni and Zhengi antennas are designed for applications such as smart meters, network devices, Femto and Pico base stations, telematics, remote monitoring, M2M, IoT and Point of Sale devices.
