Molex's Cellular Ceramic Antennas

Molex's Compact Ceramic Cellular Antenna supports high- performance MIMO applications in telecommunications, industrial and other wide-frequency-band operations.

Features & Benefits:

• ESD-protecting radiation pattern are directly connected to the system ground to eliminate damage caused by electrostatic discharge
• Indirect-feed design enables wider impedance bandwidth
• Indicator ("M") denotes 'Mirror-image' to matching part 146200-0001
• Fixing pads firmly anchor the antenna housing onto the SMT pads of the PCB
• Feeding pad ensures electrical signals form a 50-Ohm transmission line on the PCB is fed into the antenna
• Grounding pad ensures the antenna is safely grounded on the application PCB
• Ceramic antenna housing has high thermal conduction and resistance against detuning effects of environmental interference
• As these antennas are similar in design and attributes, only one matching circuit is needed when used in MIMO systems. The advantage of this is lower overall application costs. Other advantages include: indirect feed design, leading to improved antenna performance when the phone is held in hand or placed near the user's body.

Applications:

• Telecommunications/Networking
  • MIMO routers
  • VPN routers
  • Wireless LAN systems
• Wireless Infrastructure
  • Wireless embedded systems
  • Wireless radio communication equipment
  • MIMO satellite communications (SatCom) systems
