VJ 3505 Vishay Vitramon VJ 3505 UHF Chip Antenna for Mobile Devices FEATURES • • • • • • • • Small outline (35 mm x 5 mm x 1.2 mm) Omni-directional, linear polarization Complies with MBRAI standard Complete UHF band coverage (470 MHz to 860 MHz) up to 1.1 GHz Requires a tuning circuit and ground plane for optimal performance Standard SMT assembly 50 Ω unbalanced interface Operating temperature range (- 40 °C to + 85 °C) The company’s products are covered by one or more of the following: WO2008250262 (A1), US2008303720 (A1), US2008305750 (A1), WO2008154173 (A1). Other patents pending. • Reference design and evaluation boards available upon request • Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC DESCRIPTION The VJ 3505 multi-layer ceramic chip antenna is a small form-factor, high-performance, chip-antenna designed for TV reception in mobile devices in the UHF band. It allows mobile TV device manufacturers to design high quality products that do not bear the penalty of a large external antenna. Utilizing Vishay's unique materials and manufacturing technologies, this product complies with the MBRAI standard while maintaining a small outline. Focusing on consumer applications, the antenna is designed to be assembled onto a PC board in the standard reflow process. Target customers of the VJ 3505 are mobile phone makers, portable multimedia device makers, notebook OEMs and ODMs, and accessory card OEMs and ODMs. APPLICATIONS • Mobile UHF TV receivers including DVB-T, DVB-H, ISDB-T, CMMB, ATSC, and MediaFLO devices ANTENNA PERFORMANCE Peak gain and efficiency The antenna radiation characteristics are influenced by several factors including ground plane dimensions and impedance matching network. The antenna parameters presented hereafter were simulated according to the ground plane configuration suggested by the VJ 3505 evaluation board. Figure 1. shows simulated peak gain and radiation efficiency over frequency throughout the UHF band, compared with the MBRAI requirements. 2 0 Radiation Efficiency (dB) -2 -4 -6 VJ 3505 Simulated Antenna Parameters Peak Gain Radiation Efficiency MBRAI -8 - 10 - 12 470 520 570 620 670 720 Frequency (MHz) 770 820 870 Fig. 1 - Peak Gain and Efficiency vs. Frequency Document Number: 45158 Revision: 15-Jun-10 For technical questions, contact: mlcc@vishay.com www.vishay.com 1 VJ 3505 Vishay Vitramon RADIATION PATTERN The 3D planes of VJ 3505 are defined in figure 2.

For mechanical support, it is recommended to add one or two drops of heat curing epoxy glue. The glue dot should not overlap with any of the soldering pads. It is recommended to apply the glue dot at the center of the antenna, as shown by the diagonal pattern.

Mounting of antennas on a printed circuit board should be done by reflow soldering. The reflow soldering profiles are shown below. 2. In order to provide the adequate strength between the antenna and the PCB the application of a dot of heat cured epoxy glue in the center of the footprint of the antenna prior to the antenna's soldering to the board should be done. An example for such glue could be Heraeus PD 860002 SA. The weight of the dot should be 5 mg to 10 mg. 300 T (°C) 250 > 215 °C: 20 s to 40 s 200 Max. temperature 150 Min. temperature 100 Sn-Pb eutectic solder paste 50 0 30 s to 60 s 30 s to 60 s 30 s to 60 s Time Fig. 5 - Soldering IR Reflow with SnPb Solder Document Number: 45158 Revision: 15-Jun-10 For technical questions, contact: mlcc@vishay.com www.vishay.com 3 VJ 3505 Vishay Vitramon VJ 3505 UHF Chip Antenna for Mobile Devices 300 T (°C) 250 10 s 260 °C ˜ 245 °C 215 °C 10 s 40 s 200 180 °C 150 130 °C 100 2 K/s 50 0 50 100 150 200 t (s) 250 Fig. 6 - Soldering Reflow with Sn Solder 300 T (°C) 250 Max. temperature 200 Sn-Ag-Cu solder paste 150 Min. temperature 100 50 0 30 s to 60 s 60 s to 120 s 60 s to 120 s 60 s to 120 s Time Fig. 7 - Soldering IR Reflow with SnAgCu Solder ORDERING INFORMATION VJ 3505 VISHAY MATERIAL VJ3505M011SXMSRA0 PACKAGING QUANTITY 1000 pieces www.vishay.com 4 For technical questions, contact: mlcc@vishay.com Document Number: 45158 Revision: 15-Jun-10 Legal Disclaimer Notice Vishay Disclaimer All product specifications and data are subject to change without notice.
