Introduction The FXP72 Freedom 2.4GHz Antenna works on Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Bluetooth and ISM band at 2.4GHz. This antenna has been designed as a general solution to cover the current market applications, with easy installation through a cable connection. The antenna has been designed to work on different plastics material and thickness. We have selected a piece of ABS plastic with 2mm of thickness as a baseline for testing. Introduction Many module manufacturers specify peak gain limits for any antennas that are to be connected to that module. Those peak gain limits are based on free-space conditions. In practice, the peak gain of an antenna tested in free-space can degrade by at least 1 or 2dBi when put inside a device. So ideally you should go for a slightly higher peak gain antenna than mentioned on the module specification to compensate for this effect, giving you better performance. Introduction Upon testing of any of our antennas with your device and a selection of appropriate layout, integration technique, or cable, Taoglas can make sure any of our antennas’ peak gain will be below the peak gain limits. Taoglas can then issue a specification and/or report for the selected antenna in your device that will clearly show it complying with the peak gain limits, so you can be assured you are meeting regulatory requirements for that module. Introduction For example, a module manufacturer may state that the antenna must have less than 2dBi peak gain, but you don’t need to select an embedded antenna that has a peak gain of less than 2dBi in free-space. This will give you a less optimized solution. It is better to go for a slightly higher free-space peak gain of 3dBi or more if available. Once that antenna gets integrated into your device, performance will degrade below this 2dBi peak gain due to the effects of GND plane, surrounding components, and device housing. If you want to be absolutely sure, contact Taoglas and we will test. Choosing a Taoglas antenna with a higher peak gain than what is specified by the module manufacturer and enlisting our help will ensure you are getting the best performance possible without exceeding the peak gain limits. The cable and connector are fully customizable, for more information please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team. SPE-12-8-012-F www.taoglas.com 3 2. Specifications 3.

Mounting Guidelines This versatile antenna design is suitable for cases where there is not enough space for a thicker 6.antenna. Packaging5. FXP72 can be right Mechanical next to the deviceDrawing main board. This antenna uses the device main board as a ground plane through a capacitive coupling effect and keeping antenna characteristics. The only restriction for this design is the radiated elements of the antenna must be free of metal. In the next figure 12 is shown the minimum clearance necessary for the antenna and on Figure 13 the 6.non-desired Packaging main board shape on the antenna section. The size of the ground plane used on the testing is 40X60 mm and was allocated as in figure 12. 7. Application Note6. Packaging5. Mechanical Drawing 6. Packaging5. Mechanical Drawing 6. Packaging 7.

The only restrictions to get maximum performance are that the antenna must be allocated along the shortest edge of the device board, and the ground plane on that edge must have a flat shape horizontally, in order words the ground plane cannot come around of the antenna sides on that section. The next figure 13 shows a non-desired ground plane environment. The size of the ground plane used on the testing had a dimension of 40X60 mm, see next figure 14. The antenna was placed in the center of one shortest edge. The antenna was in between the ABS plastic and ground plane, having a clearance of 8 mm. The Antenna was tested into the Satimo system chamber and with a network analyzer. The antenna was also tested on in free space, just the antenna stuck out on the ABS plastic of 1.5 mm of thickness.
