Antenna provides high efficiency in compact form factor
The wide range of antennas from TE Connectivity includes the 2108851-1, a small chip antenna which provides broad coverage across the frequency band used for ultra-wideband (UWB) radio equipment for positioning and range-finding.
TE Connectivity (TE) supplies a broad portfolio of antennas which includes products to support Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, Zigbee or cellular networks, GNSS satellite navigation, RFID, DAS and other radio technologies. These antennas are suitable for use in various product types and applications, including cars, heavy-duty trucks, railway equipment, and personal electronics equipment including mobile devices and wearable technology.Â
An example of the TE antenna range is the 2108851-1, an embedded ceramic chip antenna which is suitable for use in ultra-wideband (UWB) radio applications in channels 5 to 9 across a frequency range of 5.9GHz to 8.3GHz. Offering excellent average efficiency of 74% across the rated frequency band, the 2108851-1 has a maximum voltage standing-wave ratio of 2.1:1.Â
This chip antenna has a board footprint of 4.0mm x 2.0mm, and is 1.2mm high.Â
Adhesive-mount UWB antennas from TE offer an independent ultra-thin ground plane alternative to ceramic chip antennas such as the 2108851-1. These products increase design flexibility by enabling the OEM to mount the antenna on the enclosure of the host device. UWB products in this ultra-thin range include the 2108965-x and 2108971-x series.
