790 MHz to 2700 MHz Penta-Band Cellular Antenna

Molex's 204774 ceramic antenna provides a grounding pad to ensure the antenna is safely grounded on the application PCB. The radiator antenna yields consistent RF performance including high peak gain and total radiation efficiencies. The ceramic housing provides high thermal conduction and resistance against detuning effects of environmental interference. The fixing pads firmly anchor the antenna housing onto the SMT pads of the PCB. The feeding pad ensures electrical signals from a 50 Ohm transmission line on the PCB is fed into the antenna. The antenna supports frequency bands of 790 MHz to 960 MHz and 1.7 GHz to 2.7 GHz. Its small dimensions of 33.00 mm x 6.00 mm x 3.00 mm help designers retain valuable board real estate in designs. The operating temperature is -40°C to +125°C. Peak gain (dBi) is 0.6 @ 790 M and 4.8 M @ 1710 M. Total efficiency is >50% @ 790 M and >70% @ 1710 M.
