Calvus Penta-band SMD Antenna gigaNOVA (R) Part No. A10340H 1. Product Specification Features GSM/UMTS antenna supporting up to five frequency bands High efficiency Easy to Integrate Intended for SMD mounting Supplied in Tape and reel Calvus support the following communication standards: 2. Description Calvus uses a ground plane to radiate efficiently, but the ground plane must not be present underneath the antenna itself. The antenna uses a matching circuit to achieve optimized results for the specific frequency bands that are required. This product specification shows the performance of the antenna when optimized to cover a typical penta-band reception: GSM850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA. If the antenna is used for fewer than five bands, higher efficiencies are possible. 3.

Schematic symbol and Pin definition The circuit symbol for the antenna is shown below. The antenna has five pins with only two as functional. All other pins are for mechanical strength. Pin Description 1 Feed 2,3,4,5 Not used (Mechanical only) 10. Antenna footprint The recommended host PCB footprint is below. 4 copper pads all 1.5 x 1.5 (mm) 1 copper pad (feed) 2.5 x 1.0 (mm) Antennas for Wireless Applications Product Specification A10340H-PS-1.0 Antennas for Wireless Applications Page 8 Calvus Part No. A10340H 11. Electrical Interface 11.1 Transmission Line All transmission lines should be designed to have a characteristic impedance of 50. * The length of the transmission lines should be kept to a minimum * Any other parts of the RF system like transceivers, power amplifiers, etc, should also be designed to have an impedance of 50 Once the material for the PCB has been chosen (PCB thickness and dielectric constant), a coplanar transmission line can easily be designed using any of the commercial software packages for transmission line design. For the chosen PCB thickness, copper thickness and substrate dielectric constant, the program will calculate the appropriate transmission line width and gaps on either side of the track so the characteristic impedance of the co-planar transmission is 50 . 11.2 Matching Circuit The antenna requires a matching circuit that must be optimized for each product. The matching circuit will require up to six components and the following circuit should be designed into the host PCB. Not all components may be required but should be included as a precaution. The matching network must be placed close to the antenna feed to ensure it is more effective in tuning the antenna.

Antenna Integration Guide 12.1 Antenna Placement Calvus should be fitted to the device so that power from the antenna can radiate into free space. Antenova recommends fitting the antenna close to the corner of the PCB with few components or metal objects nearby. Ground can be placed at the side of the antenna closest to the feed, and it is recommended that any ground either side of the antenna should be at least 15mm away. The area directly above and below should be free from components or conducting objects. Antenova offers a full range of development support to ensure efficient implementation of the antenna into the specific design. To overcome RF design issues, matching circuits, transmission lines, layout and other components, please contact Antenova (sales@antenova.com) for design and placement recommendations. Two recommended configurations are shown below, but other layouts are possible. In both the distance to the antenna from the GND plane is 5.6mm. Recommended PCB layouts: antenna mounted straight (left) and at 45 degrees (right).

Soldering This antenna is suitable for lead free soldering. The reflow profile should be adjusted to suit the device, oven and solder paste, while observing the following conditions: The maximum temperature should not exceed 240 C However for lead free soldering, a maximum temperature of 255 C for no more than 20 seconds is permitted. The antenna should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 120 C more than 3 times during the soldering process. 16. Hazardous Material Regulation Conformance The antenna has been tested to conform to RoHS requirements. A certificate of conformance is available from Antenova's website. 17. Packaging 17.1 Optimal Storage Conditions Temperature -10C to 40C Humidity Less than 75% RH Shelf life 24 Months Storage place Away from corrosive gas and direct sunlight Reels should be stored in unopened sealed manufacturer's plastic packaging. Packaging Note: Storage of open reels of antennas is not recommended due to possible oxidization of pads on antennas. If short term storage is necessary, then it is highly recommended that the bag containing the antenna reel is re-sealed and stored in like storage conditions as in above table.
