Description
The TFX62 is a first-of-its-kind transparent “invisible” antenna designed to cover worldwide 5G/4G bands from 600–6000MHz. Its ultra-low-profile, flexible format makes it ideal for discreet integration on visible surfaces where a conventional antenna would be undesirable.
- Wideband cellular coverage: supports global sub-6GHz cellular operation across 600–6000MHz
- Discrete integration: transparent, ultra-low-profile design for covert or aesthetic installations
- High efficiency potential: efficiencies up to 60% (installation environment dependent)
- Designed for modern devices: suitable for Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) applications (Bands 255/256/23 as noted)
Typical applications include: Automotive and Commercial Transportation, EV Charging and Parking Bays, Digital Signage and Display screens, Point Of Sale Kiosks.
Connector & Cable
- Connector Type: SMA-F
- Cable Length: None
Installation / Environmental
The installation of the Invisible Antenna series follows a similar installation method to flexible PCB antennas, as detailed in this application note. As installing a transparent material may show obvious flaws/debris, take care to wipe the area clean before adhering the antenna. The flexible antenna can be disconnected from the body to make installation easier. Where support may be an issue, we would advise using a double-sided adhesive on the housing to ensure the housing body installation does not add any additional pull force to the antenna as this will affect the antennas performance and the adhesive’s performance. The feed is not designed to be load bearing and loads of over 0.5Kg can break or damage the feed resulting in the antenna disconnecting.
The TFX62 is connected via an SMA(F) connector for ease of installation. If a custom connector is required please contact your regional customer support team.
