Comments:
Note that in this case the Evaluation Board (Figure 1) integrates two BAR mXTENDTM
Antenna Boosters that are placed together to provide operation at LTE700 (698 798
MHz). Please see Figure 10 for the recommended footprint.
The efficiency measures (Figure 3) are shown from 700 MHz due to the minimum
frequency specifications of the Satimo STARGATE 32 anechoic chamber.
2.2.1. MATCHING NETWORK
The specs of a Fractus Antennas standard product are measured in their Evaluation Board,
which is an ideal case. In a real design, components nearby the antenna, LCD’s, batteries,
covers, connectors, etc. affect the antenna performance. This is the reason why it is highly
recommended to place pads compatible with 0402 and 0603 SMD components for a matching
network as close as possible to the feeding point. Do it in the ground plane area, not in the
clearance area. This provides a degree of freedom to tune the BAR mXTENDTM Antenna
Booster once the design is finished and taking into account all elements of the system
(batteries, displays, covers, etc.).
Please notice that different devices with different ground planes and different components
nearby the BAR mXTENDTM Antenna Booster may need a different matching network. To
ensure optimal results, the use of high Q and tight tolerance components is highly
recommended (Murata components).

6. ASSEMBLY PROCESS
Figure 11 shows the back and front view of the BAR mXTENDTM Antenna Booster FR01-S4-
232. Due to the symmetry in the product configuration, the feeding pad can be any of the 2
pads.
Figure 11 Pads of the BAR mXTENDTM Antenna Booster FR01-S4-232.
As a surface mount device (SMD), the BAR mXTENDTM Antenna Booster is compatible with
industry standard soldering processes. The basic assembly procedure for the BAR mXTENDTM
Antenna Booster is as follows:
1. Apply a solder paste on the pads of the PCB. Place the BAR mXTENDTM Antenna Booster
on the board.
2. Perform a reflow process according to the temperature profile detailed in Table 8, Figure 13.
3. After soldering the BAR mXTENDTM Antenna Booster to the circuit board, perform a cleaning
process to remove any residual flux. Fractus Antennas recommends conducting a visual
inspection after the cleaning process to verify that all reflux has been removed.
The drawing below shows the soldering details obtained after a correct assembly process:
Figure 12 Soldering Details.
NOTE(*): Solder paste thickness after the assembly process will depend on the thickness of the soldering
stencil mask. A stencil thickness equal or larger than 127 microns (5 mils) is required.

Mounting Pad (2): solder the BAR mXTENDTM Antenna Booster mounting
pad to the soldering pad on the PCB. This pad must NOT be grounded.
Feed Pad (1): The 2 pads are fully symmetrical. Once the feeding pad is selected (1), the other pad (2)
will become a mounting pad. Align the feed pad with the feeding line on the PCB. See section 0.
