Rufa 2.4 GHz SMD Antenna Part No. A5839 / A5887 gigaNOVA® Product Specification 1 Features • • • • • • • Designed for 2.4 GHz applications: Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi® (802.11b/g), ZigBee®, etc. Easy to integrate Low profile design for use with no ground beneath the antenna High efficiency Light weight Intended for SMD mounting Supplied in tape on reel 2 Description Rufa is intended for use with all 2.4 GHz applications. The antenna uses a ground plane in order to radiate efficiently, but this ground plane must not extend underneath the antenna itself. The antenna is available in two versions with the feed locations on the right or left hand side of the antenna. 3 Applications • Mobile phones • PDAs • PNDs • Headsets • PMPs / MP3s • Laptops • PC-Cards • Sensors Antennas for Wireless M2M Applications 1 Product Specification AE020157-P Rufa 2.4 GHz SMD Antenna Part No. A5839 / A5887 4 Part numbers Rufa Left: A5839 Rufa Right: A5887 5 General data Product name Rufa 2.4 GHz A5839 (Left) Part Number A5887 (Right) Frequency 2.4 – 2.5 GHz Polarization Linear Operating temperature -40 ºC to +140 ºC Environmental condition test ISO16750-4 5.1.1.1/5.1.2.1/5.3.2 Impedance with matching 50 Ω Weight 0.1 g Antenna type SMD Dimensions 12.8 x 3.9 x 1.1 [mm] 6 Electrical characteristics Typical performance Peak gain 2.1 dBi Average gain -1.2 dBi Average efficiency Maximum Return Loss Maximum VSWR 75% -11 dB Conditions All data measured on Antenova’s reference boards, part numbers A5839-U1 and A5887-U1 Data given for the 2.4 – 2.5 GHz frequency range 1.8:1 Antennas for Wireless M2M Applications 2 Product Specification AE020157-P 7 Electrical performance Rufa 2.4 GHz SMD Antenna Part No. A5839 / A5887 7-1 Return Loss 7-2 VSWR Antennas for Wireless M2M Applications 3 Product Specification AE020157-P Rufa 2.4 GHz SMD Antenna Part No. A5839 / A5887 7-3 Antenna patterns Z X XY plane ZY plane Y XZ plane Patterns show combined polarisations measured on reference board A5839-U1 Antennas for Wireless M2M Applications 4 Product Specification AE020157-P Rufa 2.4 GHz SMD Antenna Part No. A5839 / A5887 8 Antenna dimensions Rufa Left Rufa Right L W H Length Width Height 12.8 ± 0.2 3.9 ± 0.2 1.1 ± 0.2 Dimensions in mm 9 Antenna footprint * CAD files of the antenna footprint are available at www.antenova-m2m.com..

For the chosen PCB thickness, copper thickness and substrate dielectric constant, the program will calculate the appropriate transmission line width and gaps on either side of the track so the characteristic impedance of the coplanar transmission line is 50 Ω . 10-2 Matching circuit The antenna requires a matching circuit that must be optimized for each customer’s product. The matching circuit will require up to three components and the following pad layout should be designed into the device so the correct circuit can be installed: The antenna feed pad and the antenna ground pad are indicated in the drawing above. Additional pads are for mechanical attachment only and should not be grounded. Antennas for Wireless M2M Applications 6 Product Specification AE020157-P Rufa 2.4 GHz SMD Antenna Part No. A5839 / A5887 In addition to the matching circuit, a separate DC blocking capacitor will also be required between the radio and the antenna matching circuit. Note: The component values for the matching circuit will vary depending on the size of the PCB and surrounding components. The impedance of the antenna should be measured before selecting suitable matching components. Antenova M2M offers this service on request. Contact sales@antenova-m2m.com for further information. 10-3 Antenna placement Antenova M2M strongly recommends placing the antenna near the edge of the board. Maximum antenna performance is achieved by placing the antenna towards one of the corners of the PCB and with the feed point of the antenna as close to same corner of the PCB as possible. Additional ground and components near the antenna should be at a distance of at least 2 mm. Where possible the antenna should be clear of ground from both sides, although the antenna can work well with a minimum clearance of D ≥ 2 mm as shown in the drawing above.

Antennas for Wireless M2M Applications 8 Product Specification AE020157-P Rufa 2.4 GHz SMD Antenna Part No. A5839 / A5887 11 Soldering This antenna is suitable for lead free soldering. The reflow profile should be adjusted to suit the device, oven and solder paste, while observing the following conditions: - The maximum temperature should not exceed 240 ºC - However for lead free soldering, a maximum temperature of 255 ºC for no more than 20 seconds is permitted. - The antenna should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 120 ºC more than 3 times during the soldering process. 12 Hazardous material regulation conformance The antenna has been tested to conform to RoHS requirements. A certificate of conformance is available from Antenova’s website.
