The future of wireless connectivity demands antennas that are compact, efficient, and capable of operating across an immense frequency spectrum. Our 617-6000MHz Ultra-Wideband PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Antenna is a revolutionary solution engineered to meet this demand, providing seamless performance across all major cellular generations (4G/LTE, 5G-NR Sub-6 GHz), Wi-Fi bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz), and emerging IoT technologies. This highly versatile antenna, coupled with a miniature U.FL/MHF connector, is the ultimate choice for manufacturers seeking a single, integrated component for global wireless deployment.
Unprecedented Ultra-Wideband Coverage
The defining feature of this PCB antenna is its exceptional frequency range, which consolidates multiple traditional antennas into one high-performance, compact unit.
Continuous Spectrum Performance (617MHz to 6GHz): The antenna is expertly designed to operate continuously across the entire spectrum from 617 MHz up to 6000 MHz. This includes:
Low-Band 5G/LTE (617-960 MHz): Crucial for maximum range, building penetration, and foundational 5G coverage (Bands 71, 12, 13, 14, 28, etc.).
Mid-Band LTE/5G (1710-2700 MHz): Essential for high-capacity 4G/LTE and mid-band 5G-NR services.
High-Band & Wi-Fi (3300-6000 MHz): Covers emerging 5G C-Band, CBRS, and all standard Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n/ac/ax) channels, including the popular 5.8 GHz band.
True Global Compatibility: By covering this massive range, the antenna ensures global compatibility with virtually every major wireless carrier and standard, simplifying inventory and manufacturing processes for products destined for international markets.
High Efficiency in a Small Form Factor: Engineered using advanced PCB layout techniques, the antenna maintains high radiation efficiency and moderate gain (typically ranging from 3 dBi to 6 dBi across the spectrum) despite its small, flat footprint. This ensures that valuable radio power is efficiently converted into radiated signal.
MIMO Readiness: The small size and lightweight nature of this design make it ideal for integration into Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. By strategically placing two or more of these antennas on the host device's PCB, designers can achieve superior data rates and link reliability necessary for 5G and Wi-Fi 6 applications.
Simplified Integration with PCB Technology
The use of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) substrate offers significant advantages in manufacturing, consistency, and physical integration compared to traditional whip or patch antennas.
Consistent Manufacturing: The antenna's geometry is precisely etched onto a rigid or semi-rigid PCB substrate (like FR4 or a low-loss material), ensuring extremely high unit-to-unit consistency in electrical performance. This is vital for mass production and reliable RF certification.
Adhesive-Backed Mounting: The antenna is often backed with a high-strength adhesive, allowing for simple, peel-and-stick mounting to the interior of a non-metallic enclosure wall. This eliminates the need for complex mechanical fasteners and simplifies the final assembly process.
Low Profile and Lightweight: The PCB design is inherently thin and lightweight, making it perfectly suited for highly compact devices such as handheld terminals, wearables, small gateways, and embedded modules where every millimeter and gram counts.
Miniature U.FL/MHF Connector Assembly
The connection interface is tailored for integration with small-scale, high-density electronic boards.
U.FL/MHF Connector: The antenna is terminated with a miniature coaxial cable pigtail featuring a U.FL (or compatible MHF) connector. This standard connector is the industry choice for connecting RF modules (like cellular modems or Wi-Fi chips) on the main board to internal antennas.
Space Saving: The U.FL connector has an extremely small physical footprint, minimizing the necessary real estate on the crowded PCB.
Reliable Mating: Despite its small size, the connector provides a reliable, secure snap-on connection suitable for mass assembly.
Customizable Cable Length: The length of the integrated coaxial cable can be specified to meet exact device geometry, ensuring optimal placement of the antenna element relative to the radio module while minimizing internal cable clutter and loss.
Impedance Matching: The entire assembly, including the PCB element, cable, and connector, is carefully impedance-matched to 50 Ohms to ensure maximum power transfer and minimize signal reflection (low VSWR).
Core Applications for Next-Gen Devices
This ultra-wideband antenna is the ideal choice for developers building devices that must support today's and tomorrow's wireless standards.
IoT and M2M Gateways: Providing consolidated connectivity for smart city infrastructure, industrial routers, and telemetry systems.
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA): Essential for indoor CPE units that need to capture signals across a diverse set of 5G frequency bands.
Vehicle Tracking and Telematics: Offering a single antenna solution for all cellular data and Wi-Fi hotspot functionalities within a vehicle.
Portable and Handheld Terminals: Integrating high-speed Wi-Fi and 5G into compact scanners, payment devices, and handheld computers.
By choosing the 617-6000MHz Ultra-Wideband PCB Antenna, you equip your device with the spectrum flexibility and performance needed to succeed in any market, globally and into the 5G era.
