Taoglas FXUB1900 Thin PCB Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Antenna

Taoglas FXUB1900 Ultra-Thin PCB ADS-B Antenna for 978 & 1090 MHz Bands, Vertical Feed

The FXUB1900 is an ultra-thin, flexible PCB antenna designed for ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) systems, the global aviation surveillance technology enabling safe and efficient air traffic management. Covering both 1090 ES (Extended Squitter, 1090 ± 5 MHz) and 978 UAT (Universal Access Transceiver, 978 ± 5 MHz) bands, the antenna provides robust and reliable aircraft tracking performance across worldwide deployments.

Built with a flexible polymer substrate, the FXUB1900 offers a unique combination of lightweight design and mechanical adaptability, allowing integration into housings or surfaces where rigid PCB antennas cannot be used. The antenna features a vertical-feed configuration with a 100 mm 1.37mm coaxial cable and I-PEX MHFI connector, simplifying integration into compact systems. With efficiencies up to 63% and a peak gain of 1.66 dBi, it delivers stable omnidirectional coverage with linear polarization.

At just 80 × 12 × 0.24 mm and weighing only 0.9 g, the antenna’s ultra-slim profile makes it ideal for discreet mounting. A 3M 467 adhesive backing ensures secure installation on enclosures or substrates, with performance optimized on a 3 mm ABS ground plane.
