MFX3.07.0150C Antenna Ultra-Low-Profile 4G/LTE, Cat-M, NB-IoT flexible adhesive mount I-PEX MHF I 15cm for Automotive, Smart Meter, Medical, Smart City

This ultra-wideband flexible antenna is designed for Mobile IoT devices that need reliable connectivity even when device orientation changes. Its thin, flexible construction supports wideband operation for LPWA cellular deployments and helps simplify designs that need strong performance across multiple cellular bands.

• Designed for LPWA cellular: supports Cat-M and NB-IoT use cases
• Ultra-low-profile flexible format: ideal for compact devices and space-constrained enclosures
• Ground-plane independent design: helps maintain performance across varied device layouts
• Use cases: automotive, smart meter, medical, smart city

Connector & Cable

• Connector Type: I-PEX MHF I (U.FL Compatible)
• Cable Length: 15cm
• Cable Type: Ø1.37mm mini coax

Installation / Environmental

The MFX3 flexible polymer antenna, at 96*21*0.2mm, is extremely thin, and truly ultra-wideband, with high efficiencies across the bands. It is assembled by a simple “peel and stick” process, attaching securely to non-metal surfaces via 3M adhesive. It enables designers to use only one antenna that covers NB-IoT, CAT M1 and all common LTE frequencies.

The MFX3 is made of durable flexible polymer and is designed to be mounted directly onto a plastic or glass cover. It offers up to 5dBi peak gain, an efficiency of more than 45% across the bands and is an ideal choice for any device maker that needs to keep manufacturing costs down over the lifetime of a product. It is ground plane independent and delivered with a cable and connector for easy connecting to the wireless module or customer PCB.

Like all similar antennas, care should be taken to mount the antenna at least 10mm from metal components or surfaces, and ideally 20mm for best radiation efficiency. Cables and connectors are customizable, for further information contact your regional customer support team.
