2 Description
Mixtus is intended for use with all dual-band Wi-Fi applications, including 802.11n MIMO.
The antenna requires a ground plane, i.e. your device acts as an active part of the antenna
and thus demands careful consideration concerning its placement.
3 Applications
• Mobile phones
• PDAs
• Portable Media Players (PMPs)
• Headsets
• PC-Cards
• Game Consoles
• Access Points
• Set-top-box
• Networked Digital TVs

10 Electrical interface
10-1 Transmission lines
• All transmission lines should be designed to have a characteristic impedance of 50
Ω
• The length of the transmission lines should be kept to a minimum.
• Any other parts of the RF system like transceivers, power amplifiers, etc, should also be
designed to have an impedance of 50
Ω
Once the material for the PCB has been chosen (PCB thickness and dielectric constant), a
coplanar transmission line can easily be designed using any of the commercial software
packages for transmission line design. For the chosen PCB thickness, copper thickness and
substrate dielectric constant, the program will calculate the appropriate transmission line width
and gaps on either side of the track so the characteristic impedance of the coplanar
transmission line is 50
Ω
.
10-2 Matching circuit
The antenna requires a matching circuit that must be optimized for each customer’s product.
The matching circuit will require up to three components and the following pad layout should be
designed into the device so the correct circuit can be installed:
The antenna feed pad and the antenna ground pad are indicated in the drawing above.
Additional pads are for mechanical attachment only and should not be grounded.

Product Specification Mixtus A10194-PS-6
In addition to the matching circuit, a separate DC blocking capacitor will also be required
between the radio and the antenna matching circuit.
Note: The component values for the matching circuit will vary depending on the size of
the PCB and surrounding components. The impedance of the antenna should be measured
before selecting suitable matching components. Antenova M2M offers this service on request.
Contact sales@antenova-m2m.com for further information.
10-3 Antenna placement
Antenova M2M strongly recommends placing the antenna near the edge of the board.
Maximum antenna performance is achieved by placing the antenna towards one of the corners
of the PCB and with the feed point of the antenna as close to the same corner of the PCB as
possible.
Additional ground and components near the antenna should be at a distance of at least 5 mm
from the left hand side and 18 mm or more from the right hand side as shown in the drawing
above.

13 Packaging
13-1 Optimal storage conditions for packaged reels
Temperature
-10ºC to 40ºC
Humidity
Less than 75% RH
Shelf Life
18 Months
Storage place
Away from corrosive gas and direct sunlight
Reels should be stored in unopened sealed
manufacturer’s plastic packaging.
Packaging
Note: Storage of open reels of antennas is not recommended due to possible oxidization of pads
on antennas. If short term storage is necessary, then it is highly recommended that the bag
containing the antenna reel is re-sealed and stored in like storage conditions as in above table.
