1. Introduction
The Taoglas CA.51 5850-5925 MHz ceramic chip antenna is specifically
designed for IEEE 802.11p / DSRC applications. It is a high efficiency miniature
SMT ceramic antenna with a small footprint requirement. This ceramic chip
antenna uses the main PCB as its ground plane, thereby increasing antenna
efficiency and decreasing the assembly cost. It is tuned for different PCB sizes
by simply changing the value of the matching circuit.
At 1.6mm*0.8mm*0.3mm, it is one of the smallest antennas available
worldwide. This antenna is delivered on tape and reel.
Applications
IEEE 802.11p (WAVE- Wireless Access in the Vehicular Environment)
DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) systems for V2V / V2I / V2X
