FM Chip Antenna Datasheet

Description
An attractive FM chip antenna with an operating bandwidth about 88~108MHz has been proposed by Auden Technology Corporation. This design occupies a small size of merely 25.2mm (L) x 5.1mm (W) x 0.8mm (T), so that it is well suitable to be integrated within various portable devices for FM radio and multimedia applications. It comes with a helical structure and is fabricated using a tiny piece of printed circuit board (PCB) to reduce size and cost. Comparing to other designs, the proposed FM chip antenna can work with better radiation performance and also stable properties.

Patent number
Patent pending.

Features
