Ethertronics’ series of ceramic Isolated Magnetic Dipole™ (IMD) antennas
deliver on the key needs of device designers for higher functionality and
performance in smaller/thinner designs. These innovative antennas provide
compelling advantages for GPS enabled handheld devices.
Real-World Performance and Implementation
Ceramic antennas may look alike on the outside, but the important
difference is inside. Other antennas may contain simple PiFA or monopole
designs that interact with their surroundings, complicating layout
or changing performance with use position. Ethertronics’ antennas utilize
patented IMD technology to deliver a unique size and performance
combination.

Antenna Layout Tips (General reference)
Important, layout guidelines for correct operation of Ethertronics Ceramic Antennas. Please read guidelines below
before laying out the antenna in a device. Figure 1 shows the typical antenna layout. Figure 2 shows Ethertronics’
antenna layout.
Shorting pin Feedpin
Antennatuning loop:
•Theantenna tuningloop is formedby the
PCBlayout.
•The feed pin and shorting pin are
combined because it requiresveryclose
proximity to achievemore band- width.
