The FXUB66 flexible wideband antenna has been designed to cover all working frequencies in the 600-6000 MHz spectrum, including all cellular (5G/4G/3G/2G), NB-IoT, Cat-M, WiFi, ISM, and GNSS bands. Its use in a device substantially improves the radiated power and sensitivity and enables the highest throughput rates of today’s broadband devices.
The antenna has groundbreaking high efficiencies on all bands and is ground plane independent. It is made of a durable, flexible polymer, with a peak gain of 5dBi, and an efficiency of more than 60% across all cellular bands.
The antenna is ultra-thin. It is assembled 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 devices 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 noncellular applications such as 868 and 915 MHz or Zigbee applications. Its inherently wide bandwidth is more resistant to detuning than traditional small but narrow-band legacy antennas.
The FXUB66 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., 5G at 600 MHz) and the other for higher 5G/4G and WiFi frequencies up to 6 GHz. It is an ideal choice for any device maker that needs to keep 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.
An option is available using the future-proof I-PEX MHF® 4L connector for 5G applications to match the many new 5G modules that utilize this smaller receptacle.
