1. Introduction
The Taoglas FXP14R Hexa Band Cellular Antenna with Integrated AntD© Resistor
covers all world-wide 2G/3G bands (850 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 MHz).
Common applications are in GSM / CDMA / DCS / PCS / WCDMA / UMTS/ HSPA / GPRS
/ EDGE.
The antenna has been designed using a super thin flexible polymer substrate with a
rectangular form-factor and cable connection for ease of installation. The antenna
radiates well on different plastic materials and thickness. We have selected ABS plastic
mounting with 2 mm of thickness as a baseline for testing. Best in class efficiency on
lower and upper bands (above 40%) make it an ideal antenna for devices where space
for onboard SMT cellular antennas is not available. The antenna is mounted via
automotive quality 3M 467MP adhesive and has excellent reliability. The FXP14 has its
own ground-plane, therefore it does not need to connect to the ground-plane of the
main-board of the device for improved radiation efficiency.
Taoglas unique AntD© technology allows connected radio products to perform
diagnostics on the antenna. This includes detection that the proper antenna is
connected and that the connection isn’t shorted or broken. Contact Taoglas
engineering for examples on how to implement AntD© antenna diagnostics in your
product. Cable length and connector types are also customizable. Like all such
antennas, care should be taken to mount the antenna at least 10mm from metal
components or surfaces, and ideally 20mm for best radiation efficiency.
