DESCRIPTION
This 2.45 GHz ceramic multilayer
antenna has been designed to meet
the requirements of the BluetoothTM(1)
and IEEE 802.11b wireless
communications protocol. It consists
of a rectangular block of low-dielectric
ceramic material and is fabricated in a
water-based non-toxic process. The
antenna is capable of providing good
connectivity using near 50
Ω
microstrip directly onto the PC board.
(1) Bluetooth is a trademark owned by
Telefonieaktiebolaget L M Ericsson,
Sweden.
ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
The foil making process
uses an environment-
friendly aqueous-solvent
technology that fully
complies with today’s green-product
design requirements. All terminations
are lead-free. Packing materials can
be recycled.
