The PC301 Flexible PCB Combination Antenna is a high-performance, ultra-thin antenna designed to cover Cellular (600 MHz–8000 MHz) and GNSS (L1, B1I, G1, and L-Band) frequencies. With its super compact flexible polymer construction (105 x 20 x 0.24 mm), the PC301 provides excellent efficiency, ground-plane independence, and easy integration into compact wireless devices ideal for applications requiring robust global connectivity across multiple wireless technologies. Flex PCB material is also a better option for use in devices where vibration may occur such as drones or UAV’s.
By integrating Cellular and GNSS capabilities into a single compact plane, designers can incorporate advanced wireless communication and precise positioning into their products without needing multiple antennas with a space-saving and cost-efficient solution. Two cables are easier to manage and reduce clutter and assembly labour time. Replacing two separate antennas also reduces cost and the number of BOM components and reduces potential points of mechanical or electrical failure.
Installation is quick and simple with a “peel-and-stick” 3M adhesive backing, enabling secure mounting on non-metal surfaces such as plastic or glass. With peak gains ranging from 1 to 4 dBi across Cellular and GNSS bands, the PC301 allows designers to cover multiple frequency ranges with a single antenna, reducing cost, complexity, and time-to-market.
The antenna is supplied with a pre-assembled cable and connector for plug-and-play integration, both of which can be customized to meet specific project requirements. Different cable colours are available to simplify identification and streamline the assembly process during production, helping ensure efficient installation and minimizing connection errors.
