Description
This evaluation board is designed to help engineers quickly test and integrate a miniature UWB chip antenna covering Bands/Channels 5 through 12. It supports efficient wideband performance across 6–9GHz in a compact, low-profile form factor suitable for prototyping and validation.
- Wideband UWB coverage: supports Channels 5–12 (6–9GHz range)
- Prototype-ready format: evaluation board layout intended for quick RF testing
- Compact, low-profile design: suited for space-constrained devices
- Surface-mount compatibility: intended for SMD/SMT evaluation workflows
Typical use cases include: radar and sensing, home network connectivity/streaming applications, and position location & tracking use cases.
Installation / Environmental
Like all such antennas, care should be taken to mount the antenna at least 3mm from metal components or surfaces, and ideally 5mm for best Radiation efficiency.
The results below are based on an 80mm x 40mm ground-plane. If your ground-plane is smaller the performance will change. Optimum position for this chip antenna is in the middle of the longest edge on the PCB.
