DATASHEET Part No. P522304 Product: Broadband FR4 Embedded Cellular Antenna Part No. P522304 Broadband FR4 Embedded Cellular Antenna 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 MHz Supports: Broadband LTE (OCTA-BAND), LTE CAT-M, NB-IoT, SigFox, LoRa, Cellular LPWA, RPMA, Firstnet Ethertronics’ Broadband Embedded Cellular antenna utilizes Isolated Magnetic Dipole™ (IMD) technology which address the challenges facing today’s product designers. IMD’shigh performance and isolation characteristics offer better connectivity and minimal interference. Stays in Tune IMDantenna technology provides superior RFfield containment, resulting in less interaction with surrounding components. Ethertronics IMDantennas resist detuning; providing a robust radio link regardless of the usage position Broadband FR4 Embedded Cellular Antenna Ethertronics antennas use patented IMDtechnology in many antenna configurations to provide high performance. IMDantennas requires a Low Band 824 –960 MHz smaller design keep-out area, carry lower program development risk which High Band 1710 - 2170 MHz yields a quicker time-to-market, without sacrificing RFperformance.
