Introduction
The Taoglas Pylon FXUB85 is an ultra-wideband flexible PCB antenna designed for the next generation of
connectivity. The Pylon FXUB85 provides best-in-class performance for all 5G sub 6 GHz (FR1) and Wi-Fi 6
applications. Covering the entire spectrum from 600 MHz – 8 GHz, the Pylon allows for coverage in the 3.5
GHz CBRS bands, the 1400 MHz 5G NR bands 74,75,76, and the 3.6-4.6 GHz Japan 5G NR bands 77,78,79.
It maintains excellent performance in all the traditional 4G LTE bands, including 4G LTE band 71 and allows
for fallback to 3G/2G bands when necessary.
Introduction
The Pylon FXUB85 PCB has been expertly designed by Taoglas, to be the smallest size possible. At just 163
x 21 x 0.3mm, it can be neatly placed in the next generation of connected devices. As devices become more
compact, the Pylon alleviates size constraint issues. The antenna performs well at a reasonable distance,
typically 20mm, from a ground and has demonstrated ease of integration into complex end user
equipment.
Introduction
Introduction
Typical Applications Include:
- IoT and Connected Devices
- UAVs and Autonomous Vehicles
- Precision Tracking
- Industrial Robotics and Factory Automation
- Field and Body Sensors and Wearables
The Pylon FXUB85 antenna has a typical efficiency of more than 70% across both low and high frequency
bands. The Pylon is designed to be mounted directly onto a plastic or glass enclosures. It is an ideal choice
for any device maker that desires ease of integration and needs to keep manufacturing costs down over
the lifetime of a product without compromising performance.
Cable and connector are fully customizable, contact your regional Taoglas customer support team for more
information.

Application Note
Like all flex antennas, the FXUB85 Pylon antenna performance is somewhat sensitive to the routing of the cable
6.during Packaging5.
Mechanical
integration. The preferred
routing is to the Drawing
right, as shown in the photo below. All data presented here
was taken in the “Preferred” configuration.
Routing the cable to the left also works, but routing the cable down the center along the ground plane of the
antenna is suboptimal.
