The NCP.5820 from Taoglas is the world smallest ceramic NB-IoT antenna that covers Bands 5 (824 - 894 MHz), Band 8 (880 - 960 MHz) and Band 20 (791-862 MHz) simultaneously with a single matching configuration. The antenna is specifically designed to provide device manufacturers cost-effective global reach and high efficiency in a small form factor as they develop NB-IoT solutions. It is available in a low profile (2 mm) and has a small footprint (14.1 x 8.3 mm).
The NCP.5820 is designed with the patent-pending Taoglas Boost technology, which delivers up to a 2 dB improvement in antenna performance when integrated into small devices. Taoglas Boost is particularly suited to designs with shorter ground planes, allowing IoT and other device designers to bring to market a wider range of smaller devices that would otherwise not have been able to meet certain stringent carrier certification requirements.
