Micro-antenna miniaturises mobile radio

Ceramic antennas can be used in all four GSM wavebands and can be mounted directly on the PCB.

At just 21 x 7 x 3.2mm, the new ANT-GXE477 micro-antenna from Round Solutions is ideal for use in highly miniaturised mobile radio systems.

The antennas, which are made from a ceramic material, can be used in all four GSM wavebands.

In addition the components can be mounted directly on the PCB.

This saves material costs for high-frequency compatible cables and plug connectors as well as manufacturing time, as elaborate manual work is eliminated.

"As opposed to most of our competitors, we also support developers of prototypes or small series with this and other ceramic antennas", explains Technical Director, Harald Naumann.

Round Solutions offers a minimum order quantity of just five pieces, whereas five-figure quantities need to be ordered elsewhere.

"On top of that we provide an individual adaptation service", Naumann continues.

"We provide special guidelines for the integration of the antenna".

A starter kit for the ANT-GXE477 is also available for test purposes.
