LTE Antenna

Product information

This antenna is a compact, ultra-thin flexible PCB (FPCB) antenna tailored for cellular IoT, M2M, and embedded connectivity. It uses a flexible PCB construction with an adhesive back for easy installation and covers the full range of cellular bands from 698 MHz to 2690 MHz. Unictron's WC12H0 FPCB antenna is designed for cellular LTE full-band applications, covering 698–960 MHz, 1710–2170 MHz, 2300–2400 MHz, and 2490–2690 MHz. With a conformable profile that wraps onto enclosures and a 100 mm cable terminated in a U.FL/MHF I connector, it's well suited to space-constrained devices needing dependable 2G/3G/4G connectivity.

Details

  • Type: LTE Full-Band Flexible PCB (FPCB) Antenna — Unictron series WC12H0
  • Frequency Range:
    • 698–960 MHz, 1710–2170 MHz, 2300–2400 MHz, and 2490–2690 MHz
    • Supports LTE, GSM, CDMA, DCS, PCS, WCDMA, UMTS, HSDPA, GPRS, EDGE (LTE full band / 3G / 2G)
    • Note: this model does not include a dedicated GNSS/GPS band
  • Design Features:
    • Flexible FPCB substrate: Thin, conformable construction that mounts onto curved or flat surfaces where a rigid antenna won't fit.
    • Adhesive back: Allows easy, secure mounting on enclosures, housings, and brackets.
    • U.FL connector: PCB-trace FPCB antenna terminated with a U.FL (UMCC) / I-PEX MHF1 connector, ideal for embedded systems where space is at a premium.
    • RoHS compliant.
  • Performance:
    • Peak Gain: Varies by band — 2.6 dBi typical at 2300–2400 MHz and 1.2 dBi typical at 2490–2690 MHz.
    • Efficiency: Approximately 65.3% typical at 2350 MHz and 51.0% typical at 2590 MHz; full per-band figures are listed in the datasheet.
    • Impedance / Polarization: 50 Ω characteristic impedance with linear polarization.
  • Applications:
    • Ideal for:
      • Embedded cellular IoT and M2M devices.
      • Cellular modems and routers (2G/3G/4G LTE).
      • Compact, space-constrained embedded systems.
  • Dimensions: Approximately 120 mm × 13 mm, in an ultra-thin flexible profile.
  • Cable Length: 100 mm, 1.13 mm coaxial cable terminated with an IPEX MHF I (U.FL-compatible) plug connector.
  • Compatibility: Works across 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE technologies, including GSM, CDMA, WCDMA/UMTS, HSDPA, and LTE full band. Originally paired with the nRF9160 Feather for best performance.
