ONE mXTEND™: SIMPLE and COST-EFFICIENT SMART METER ANTENNA INTEGRATION
●The rate of smart meter implementation is projected to continue to grow as governments implement programs to encourage their deployment, helping providers get more detailed information which in turn allows them to better match utility generation with customer consumption. In this application note we illustrate how to use the ALL mXTEND™ chip antenna component (NN02-220) for operating at the 698-960MHz and 1710-2170MHz frequency ranges used in smart meters. Additionally, we have performed our tests using an Evaluation Board the size of a typical smart meter to provide the most relevant results possible for those who design smart meters.
●The ALL mXTEND™ is perfect for providing cost savings in your smart meter production. It is often a lower cost component than an external antenna and being SMD pick and place it provides savings on assembly labor costs. Additionally, as this antenna is mounted internally it provides the further benefit of increased protection against environmental factors versus an external antenna. The same antenna part can be used to cover different frequency ranges, since it offers the antenna designer the flexibility of selecting the frequency regions to operate through just the customization of the matching network.
■BENEFITS
●High efficiency
●Small size
●Cost-effective
●Easy-to-use (pick and place)
●Multiband behaviour (worldwide standards)
●Off-the-Shelf Standard Product (no customization is required)
■PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NN02-224
●The rate of smart meter implementation is projected to continue to grow as governments implement programs to encourage their deployment, helping providers get more detailed information which in turn allows them to better match utility generation with customer consumption. In this application note we illustrate how to use the RUN mXTEND™ antenna booster (NN02-224) for operating at the 824-960MHz and 1710-2170MHz frequency ranges used in smart meters. Additionally, we have performed our tests using an Evaluation Board the size of a typical smart meter to provide the most relevant results possible for those who design smart meters.
