FXUB53 5G/4G Flex Antenna, 150mm Ø1.37, I-PEX MHF® I (U.FL)
The Taoglas FXUB53 flexible wideband antenna has been designed to cover all working frequencies in the 600-6000 MHz spectrum. It is engineered to cover all 5G/4G cellular bands (with fallback to 3G/2G), NB-IoT, Cat-M, Wi-Fi, and ISM bands. With its super small footprint of 120x20mm, it alleviates size constraint issues commonly seen when integrating a high-performance antenna into compact IoT devices. It has been designed to be mounted directly onto a plastic enclosures or glass.
When used in-device, the radiated power and sensitivity improves substantially, and enables the highest throughput rate, essential for today’s broadband devices. The antenna is delivered on a flexible PCB with exceptional efficiencies on all bands for antenna of this size. It is ground-plane independent, with a cable and connector for easy installation. It is made of durable flexible polymer, with efficiencies of up to 70% across all cellular bands. At 120 x 20 x 0.2mm, the antenna has a small footprint and is ultra-thin. It is installed in devices
by a simple “peel and stick” process, attaching securely to non-metal surfaces via 3M adhesive. It enables designers to use only one antenna that covers all frequencies and future proofs device design for 5G and 4G globally. 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. The wide bandwidth is more resistant to detuning than traditional small but narrow-band legacy antennas.
Typical Applications Include:
- IoT and Connected Devices
- UAVs and Autonomous Vehicles
- Industrial Robotics and Automation
The antenna has a unique hybrid design. Within one antenna structure the electromagnetic waves travel in two predominant propagation modes – one for lower frequencies, e.g. 600 MHz, and the other for higher 5G/4G and Wi-Fi frequencies up to 6GHz. 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 include additional frequency bands.
Cables and Connectors are fully customizable, subject to MOQ, for further information please contact your regional Taoglas Customer support team.
