Small Taoglas LTE SMT Antenna with 70 percent Efficiency

Small Taoglas LTE SMT Antenna with 70% Efficiency

PA700.A "Viking" Antenna offers Embedded, 4G, LTE Antenna with High Efficiency, High Data Rates and Lower Power Consumption for M2M Markets. Taoglas Limited,  the leading provider of antenna solutions to the M2M market, launched the PA.700.A "Viking" antenna, a LTE, septa-band, surface mount antenna (SMT). This revolutionary patent pending PA.700A Viking is a 2G/3G/4G High Efficiency SMD Ceramic antenna. It uses high grade ceramics to deliver the highest efficiencies on all bands on the shortest device ground-plane lengths possible.

The exceptional wide-band response means it is the ideal antenna for LTE 700MHz applications that also need high efficiency 2G or 3G on lower and upper bands.It delivers efficiency of over 70% in a design that is significantly smaller than current market wide-band antennas. This multi-band cellular antenna covers all worldwide cellular bands from 700 MHz to 960 MHz and 1710 MHz to 2170 MHz for GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, DCS, PCS, UMTS, HSDPA, GPRS, EDGE and LTE.

"Product manufacturers are struggling to find LTE antennas in small enough sizes to fit into tight, challenging spaces and still deliver high performance. The PA.700.A Viking improves on the best features of our PA.25.A which is used by the world´s leading auto and medical device makers in extreme environments," said Dermot O´Shea, Director, Taoglas.  "A comparative antenna to the Viking, with more traditional materials such as metal or FR4 would have a reduced efficiency in this configuration for the same size. No other SMT antenna can match the PA.700.A Viking for the combination of size, durability, frequency range and efficiencies of over 70% on all bands including LTE."

Made of dense, high-grade ceramic, the PA.700.A Viking is extremely robust and durable for use in extreme environments such as the automotive industry.  It has passed vehicle vibration tests of 10G for automotive and 20G for motorcycles. For more information go directly to Antenna Product list.
