Molex 209142 series 698MHz to 4000MHz cellular flexible antenna

Molex introduces 209142 series 698MHz to 4000MHz cellular flexible antenna

Achieving excellent performance and meeting desired 4G data rates with a small-sized antenna on a compact device remains a major technical challenge for mobile device manufacturers. Molex LTE cellular antennas are available in both cabled and SMT versions. SMT LTE antennas are compact and can be conveniently mounted on PCB corners to maximise the application’s usable space.

Meeting design requirements of high radiation efficiency and gain with maximum PCB real estate savings pose challenges for consumer device manufacturers. Molex LTE cellular antennas meet all the design requirements of high radiation efficiency with high peak gain while providing maximum PCB real estate savings.
