Tiny antenna for Bluetooth and WLAN
Epcos has begun volume production of an antenna for Bluetooth and WLAN applications with centre frequencies in the range from 2.4 to 2.5GHz.
Epcos has begun volume production of an antenna for Bluetooth and WLAN applications with centre frequencies in the range from 2.4 to 2.5GHz By using low-loss materials and low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) technology, Epcos has kept the antenna's dimensions down to only 10.1 x 2.6 x 0.64mm, yet the device still features outstanding electrical properties
The antenna radiates up to 70% of the input power even if it is mounted on a conventional mobile phone board (90 x 40mm).
It weighs only 0.075g.
Thanks to LTCC technology, dozens of passive electronic components, such as capacitors, inductors and varistors, plus semiconductors can be integrated into a single module.
This not only saves space and weight, but also boosts reliability.
In mobile communications in particular, LTCC designs set new standards in functionality without increasing dimensions.
