AVX/Ethertronics Announces its Extensive Portfolio of High-Performance, High-Efficiency Patch Antennas
September 14 2020 - 9:30AM
AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer and supplier of advanced
electronic components and interconnect, sensor, control, and
antenna solutions, announced its extensive portfolio of
high-performance, high-efficiency patch antennas optimized to
satisfy demanding connectivity and miniaturization requirements in
wireless applications throughout the automotive, industrial,
networking, medical, consumer electronics, energy, and
transportation industries. Ethertronics’ embedded on-board patch
antennas have small, low-profile form factors and leverage the
company’s patented isolated magnetic dipole (IMD) technology to
achieve both reduced ground plane and keep-out area size
requirements for greater design flexibility and higher efficiency,
gain, isolation, and directivity characteristics than competing
solutions from 1.5–2.4GHz for reliable connectivity with better
return loss and minimal interference. The range is also RoHS
compliant and available with multiple feed points, optional cable
connections, and adhesive and through-hole solder pin mounting
options. Ideal applications include wireless electronics spanning
wearables, IoT devices, gateways, and access points to
point-of-sale terminals, tracking systems, telematics, digital
signage, on-board diagnostics, connected vehicles, and
machine-to-machine communications.
Ethertronics recently expanded its antenna portfolio with the
addition of five new series of compact and low-profile,
high-performance, high-efficiency embedded on-board patch antennas:
the Wi-Fi/BT/Zigbee Ceramic Patch 2.4GHz Antennas (1003468), the
GPS/GLONASS/Beidou/Galileo Patch Antennas (1004322), the
GPS/GLONASS/Beidou/Galileo Dual-Feed Patch Antennas (1002649), the
GPS/GLONASS Patch Antennas with Cable (1004627), and the GPS
Ceramic Patch Antennas with Low-Noise Amplifier
(LNA) (1004138). The variety of standard antenna offerings
helps engineers reduce design costs and hasten time-to-market by
eliminating the additional design fees and extended cycle times
associated with custom solutions. In addition, each patch antenna
series in the range features independent tuning capabilities for
application-specific performance optimization, which is especially
beneficial for mobile device designs including smartphones,
headsets, tablets, and media players.
“Ethertronics’ range of embedded on-board patch antennas
provides OEMs with exceptional performance, efficiency, and
reliability in small, low-profile form factors designed to satisfy
widespread, cross-market demands for size and weight savings,” said
Alexander Hall, field applications engineer, AVX. “Thanks to our
patented, multilayer IMD technology, Ethertronics’ patch antennas
consistently outperform competing solutions, offering improved
design flexibility by way of reduced ground plane and keep-out area
size requirements and reliable connectivity with higher efficiency,
gain, isolation, and directivity characteristics, better return
loss, and minimal interference from 1.5–2.4GHz.”
Each of the Ethertronics patch antennas in all five series
measures a maximum of 25.0mm (±0.2mm) in length, 25.0mm (±0.2mm) in
width, and 6.8mm (±0.7mm) in height, weighs between 4.8g and 14.3g,
and supports a range of both high-band and ultra-high-band
frequencies extending from 1.559–2.485GHz. Typical performance
characteristics for each patch antenna series varies depending on
its PCB ground plane dimensions (e.g., 50mm x 50mm or 70mm x 70mm)
or free-space placement, but can include RHCP polarization, 50Ω
unbalanced feed-point impedance, peak gain ranging from 3.0dBi at
1.602GHz to 5.5dBi from 1.575–1.610GHz, average efficiency spanning
51% from 1.559–1.591GHz to 74% from 2.400–2.485GHz, and VSWR match
extending from <2:1 for 2.400–2.485GHz frequencies to <1:2.2
for 1.593–1.610GHz frequencies.
Ethertronics’ embedded on-board patch antennas are packaged and
shipped in plastic trays and currently have an eight-week
lead-time.
