4.
A Flexible antenna can be made into any 2D shape for ease of fit into a product.
Flexible PCB antennas are super low profile 0.5mm
5.
Dipole antennas can be classed as being largely ground-plane independent in
terms of performance. Planar antennas such as F-Type interact with the ground-
plane more. In general we wish for 20mm clearance from the main ground-plane
for reasons of efficiency.
6.
RF circuits in mobile devices should be designed for a 50 Ohm characteristic
impedance at the source (RF module), transmission line (PCB trace or coax
cable) and load (antenna). In practice sometimes the characteristic impedance of
the circuit is not 50 Ohms at different transmitting and receiving bands. This
necessitates the antenna impedance to be changed to match the actual
characteristic impedance of the circuit. For a cellular antenna this is most
effective when tuning the antenna at over the air active testing stage when the
device is turned on and using the TRP and TIS numbers as guide to find the best
impedance match for the antenna.
7.
Bandwidth is defined as the frequency band below -10dB return loss.
Taoglas PCB antennas in general are rated at a minimum of -7.5dB return loss
for the targeted application bands (for example GSM 850/900/1800/1900). A
return loss of below -10dB is targeted for the centre of the bands. -5dB return
loss at edge of bands where it rolls off.
8.
In principle the target is to be below 2.0, ideally below 1.5. In practice in multi-
band and challenging environments it may go to 3.0.
