1.Introduction

The PCS.26.A is a low-profile SMD LTE/cellular 2G/3G/4G embedded antenna

designed for direct SMD mount on a device PCB. It provides high efficiency in a

very small form factor, at 54.6*13*3mm. Its rectangular shape and very small

size make it very easy to integrate. Packaged in tape and reel, it can be

mounted via pick and place to reflow solder directly on the edge of the PCB

board. The antenna is a great match for lower cost LTE/cellular applications,

particularly in the telematics and automotive sector.

This antenna is recommended for use with longer ground-plane lengths of

100mm or more for maximum efficiency. Some tuning can be performed on

this antenna to help optimize to the device environment. Contact your regional
