Ceramic chip antenna design.

Ceramic chip antenna antennas are available at mouser electronics. Surface mountable dielectric chip antennas are result of harmonizing our long experience in ceramic material process technologies for high frequency applications together with cutting edge rf design technologies. Furthermore they accommodate expedient hardware modifications since they utilize a surface mount configuration. Pifa antenna placement 3 2 ceramic dielectric antenna a ceramic dielectric antenna is smaller than a pifa or any other pcb antenna because the active element is wound around a high dkceramic slab which concentrates the electric field.

The core of these antennas is a proprietary ceramic compound described in the marketing blurb of the antenna product line as. There is a higher initial cost when purchasing ceramic chip antennas and their required support components. As with a pifa a copper cleared area and a ground plane are required as shown in figure 7. Extreme temperature stability 2ppm.

The ceramic chip antenna is a component that you add to the board after the design phase has been completed. Even with their small size and thin profile tdk antennas maintain high performance and reliability all with the industry s smallest keep out area on the pcb which enable ease of pcb design and revision at each development stage. 2x 3x higher dielectric constant than any fr4 pcb or standard plastics. Smallest form factor ceramic chip antenna in the industry.

Mouser offers inventory pricing datasheets for ceramic chip antenna antennas. Currently the average chip antenna will cost between 0 10 and 1 60. Tdk s ant series ceramic chip antennas feature compact and low profile designs utilizing low temperature co fired ceramic technology ltcc.
