The ILA.09 is a new 915MHz ISM band embedded ceramic loop antenna from Taoglas featuring good efficiency of 55% at the center of the band. It is the perfect solution for the growing number of devices using the 915MHz band such as Sigfox and LoRa applications in the US, or in metering application. Introduction This antenna works best when placed at the center of the board edge. The ILA.09 antenna, at 5*3*0.5mm, is low profile and would be suitable for devices with space constraints. The ILA.09 is delivered on tape and reel and now allows M2M customers to use an omnidirectional SMT antenna. The omnidirectional radiation characteristics allow for excellent performance regardless of device orientation. This is especially useful for devices that are not fixed in one particular spot during use. When there is little PCB space available for antenna placement, but high performance is required, the ILA.09 is the ideal choice. Introduction Introduction The antenna is manufactured in a TS16949 first tier automotive approved facility and has passed the most stringent reliability testing. Since it is SMD, it is much easier to integrate and more reliable in high volume production compared to helical antennas which are cumbersome to install and subject to variability due to the need for manual assembly. Introduction This antenna can be mounted with no performance degradation in either orientation as long as the antenna is soldered correctly via Surface mounting. Please see the integration instructions section for further detail regarding the optimum way to integrate this antenna into your device. For further optimization to customer-specific device environments and for support to integrate and test this antennas performance in your device, contact your regional Taoglas Customer Services Team.
