These antennas are compatible with various frequency bands worldwide and guarantee superior performance, yet occupy minimal space on the PCB. These automotive antennas provide broadband coverage for 4G/LTE, 3G, GPS, WiFi, V2X, or Bluetooth networks, with swivel capabilities for optimized performance.
The AVX/Ethertronics Universal Broadband Built-in LTE/LPWA Antenna (part number P822601) utilizes 
Magnetically Isolated Dipole™ (IMD) technology, which provides superior RF field containment and less interference or feedback from surrounding components—important in the electronically busy automotive environment. The antenna resists misalignment and maintains a reliable radio link regardless of its position. Maximum gain at different frequencies is 2.6 dBi at 689–960 MHz, 4.4 dBi at 1710–2200 MHz, and 3.4 dBi at 2500–2700 MHz. The antenna has a very small PCB footprint of only 49.6 mm x 8.0 mm x 3.2 mm.
The AVX/Ethertronics Wi-Fi/BT/Zigbee ceramic chip antenna (part number 1001312) also offers the advantages of IMD technology, enabling design engineers to deliver key requirements for high functionality and superior performance in smaller, thinner designs. Measuring only 2.00 mm x 1.20 mm x 0.5 mm, it operates at a frequency of 2400–2485 MHz with a maximum gain of 1.88 dBi.
AVX/Ethertronics provides a wide range of SMT-sealed metal antennas for V2X applications. The PN 1002289 antenna offers exceptional features, such as vertical polarization, ideal for improving performance in vehicle-to-infrastructure communications.
Designed to be mechanically robust to withstand the rigors of automotive applications, the devices are TS certified and supplied on tape and reel for high-volume automated manufacturing.
In addition, Ethertronics offers custom design and testing services using its automotive anechoic chamber, located in Antibes, France.
