Super Small, GNSS & Wi-Fi® Combination Loop Antenna for the Smallest of IoT Devices
The Maximus Series FXUB16 is the smallest Taoglas wideband flex PCB antenna by footprint size. Engineered to cover all global working frequencies in the 600-6000 MHz spectrum with efficiencies of up to 60%, it is the perfect solution when size constraints limit the use of a larger antenna. It covers all cellular 5G and 4G bands with fall back to 3G/2G, and it also functions for NB-IoT, Cat-M, Wi-Fi®, and ISM frequencies. This wide band coverage enables designers to use only one antenna to cover all frequencies and future proofs device design for 5G and 4G globally.
Typical Applications for the FXUB16 include:
- Gateways, Routers and Private LTE Networks
- In-Building Connectivity and Security Systems
- Point of Sales Kiosks and Retail Digital Signage
- Connected Industry and Smart Metering
- Handheld Devices and Tablets
- Mobile Wireless Camera Systems
At just 90.4 × 15 × 0.24mm, the antenna is compact and ultrathin. It is integrated into a device by a simple “peel and stick” process, attaching securely to non-metal surfaces via strong, 3M adhesive. It is also the ideal antenna to fit in devices that are being retrofitted with wireless functionality, as it will cover non cellular applications such as 868, 915MHz or ZigBee® applications. Its inherently wide bandwidth is more resistant to detuning than traditional small but narrow-band legacy antennas. It is an ideal choice for any device maker that needs to keep manufacturing costs down over the lifetime of a product, as the same antenna can be used if the radio module is upgraded to work on a different frequency band.
