Pulse introduces the small hybrid surface mount pick-
and-place W3544X family of GSM/3G antennas. Board
connection is via 6 SMD connection points underneath
the antenna. Antennas are delivered in tape and reel
packaging for use in automatic SMD pick-and-place.
Each antenna measures 7.65 x 26 x 3 mm and requires
ground clearance on the PCB. The W3544A is optimized
for a corner board location while the W3544B is for use
at the end of a narrow PCB. Frequency bands are 824-
960 and 1710-2170 MHz with a target of minimum 50% ef-
ficiency in all bands oering a compact high performance
solution for GSM/3G applications
Features
