NEW PRODUCTS & SERVICES Richardson RFPD Introduces High Efficiency, 4G Antennas Richardson RFPD, Inc. has announced availability and full design support capabilities for a range of high efficiency, fourth generation antennas from Taoglas USA, Inc. (Taoglas). The Pantheon MA750 antenna is an omni-directional heavyduty MIMO, fully IP67 waterproof external M2M antenna for use in telematics, transportation and remote monitoring applications. The MA750 combines a 5-in-1 GPS, cellular 700 MHz to 2,200 MHz (2G/3G/4G) and 2.4/5 GHz antenna with the highest efficiency and peak gain possible. The G30 Olympian is a high performance screw mount wide-band cellular antenna for external use on vehicles and outdoor assets worldwide. Omni-directional high gain and high efficiency across all bands ensure the constant reception and transmission vital for today’s high data bandwidth applications in video and mobile broadband. The hinged Apex TG.30 ultra-wideband dipole LTE antenna is primarily designed for use with 4G LTE modules and devices that require the highest possible efficiency and peak gain to deliver best-in-class throughput on all major cellular (2G/3G/4G) bands worldwide for access points, terminals and routers. The PA.700A Viking antenna is an LTE/cellular, septa-band, surface mount antenna (SMT). It delivers efficiency of more than 70 percent in a design that is significantly smaller than current market wide-band antennas. This multi-band cellular antenna covers all worldwide cellular bands from 700 to 960 MHz and 1,710 to 2,170 MHz. The Maximus FXUB66 flexible ultra wideband antenna has been designed to cover all working frequencies in the 700 to 6,000 MHz spectrum, including all cellular, Wi-Fi, ISM and GNSS bands. The PA.710A Warrior antenna is an LTE/cellular ceramic surface mount antenna (SMT). It delivers exceptional wide band efficiency for the new 700 MHz US and 2,600 MHz European LTE bands, allowing for design of one antenna for both key markets. Horn Antenna has Frequency Range Up to 18 GHz Teseq, Inc. now offers a double-ridged horn antenna that has a frequency range of 6 GHz to 18 GHz. The PMM DR-01 is designed for radiated emissions and immunity applications, featuring an antenna factor of 36 dB/m to 41 dB/m and excellent sensitivity for emissions measurements. The PMM DR-01 is well suited for use with Teseq’s PMM 9180 high-performance digital EMC/EMI receiver because of its size and axially located RF connector. The uniquely designed, battery-powered PMM 9180 is the only fully-compliant EMI receiver module on the market directly connected to an antenna 10 Antenna Systems & Technology Spring 2013 ANTENNAS located inside the testing chamber. It has the ability to transmit data outside the testing chamber via fiber optic cable, eliminating signal losses that can exceed 20 dB. When installed on a tripod or mast with the PMM 9180 and connected to PMM receiver via a fiber optic cable, the PMM DR-01 increases system sensitivity, accuracy and reduces overall error by eliminating sources of uncertainty and signal loss through scattering and attenuation of the coaxial cable. A tripod adapter allows for simple vertical and horizontal polarization changes. The robust, corrosion-resistant PMM DR-01 features individual calibration and has a nominal impedance range of 50 ohms. Maximum power input is 150 W. The PMM DR-01 measures approximately 2.2 inches by 1.7 inches by 5.4 inches and weighs a half-pound. RFID System with Active Tags Based on ams Chipset and Premo Antennas A solution that combines a LF wake up and the communication via transceiver at 2.4 GHz through Premo emitter antennas and 3D coils. The ams solution includes on the base station a 2.4 GHz transceiver, the AS3940 and a LF wake-up transmitter (15 KHz to 150 KHz) based on a standard KGEA (keyless go emitter antenna) of Premo. Active tags are also determined by using a LF (15 to 150 kHz) wake up receiver, the AS3933, the AS3940 2.4 GHz UHF frequency shift keying (FSK) transceiver and an ultra-low power MCU. The ams reference design uses a threedimensional antenna system, with an antenna in each of the x, y, and z axes, Premo’s 3DC1515 Cap at 7.2 mH, feeding one of the device’s inputs. This solution extends the use of the emitter antennas and the 3D antenna to the field of active tags. The data are not transmitted in low frequency but UHF with a higher bandwidth and transmission capacity; the major problem of active tags, the battery life, can be solved. Now it is possible to operate for three years with a small CR2032 coin cell. Premo antennas work in resonance or high tuning achieving high sensitivity and selectivity (High Q). The circuit, using a low power pulse signal and low frequency, can be activated with barely consumption to transmit. Then, it automatically turns off or turns for the same procedure (change to LF reception mode). www.AntennasOnline.com http://www.AntennasOnline.com
