1.0Introduction
This high performance, low profile, PCB antenna is based on smart TheStripe" antenna
technology. It consists of a PCB antenna and mini coaxial cable. The product is a high gain
Penta-band 850/900/1800/1900/2100 antenna suitable for worldwide GSM, UMTS and
WCDMA applications. Its high efficiency (62% average) makes it an ideal choice to pass
telecom operators testing approvals. The product should be tested in freespace conditions
connected to the clients cellular device.
Further optimization can be done upon receipt of the clients device at a local Taoglas facility.
