 SELECTION PROCESS
STANDARD VS. CUSTOM ANTENNAS

Connectivity is key in today’s world and devices in the market require

strong signal strength to allow for peak performance. Integrating
an antenna is not trivial, whether it is an off-the-shelf product or a
highly customized solution, and should not be an afterthought.

The AVX Antenna Design Team strongly recommends considering

the antenna design and/or the antenna integration process as early
as possible, ideally during the product design and the radio module
selection. A perfect match between the radio and the antenna will
ensure all wireless connectivity needs are met.

Working with the AVX Antenna Design Team is simple and straight forward. The team will ask relevant questions
to determine if a standard, off-the-shelf antenna or a customized antenna is the best technology solution.

If a standard antenna is necessary, please refer to the links below for integration documentation:
• Datasheets: www.ethertronics.com/passive
• Application Notes & DXF files: www.avx.com/design-tools/antenna-tools
• 3D CAD: Please contact us using the information listed below
• Stock check: www.avx.com/resources/distributor-stock-check

If a customized passive or active antenna is necessary, the AVX Antenna Design Team will contact and work
with the key partners (distribution, sales, design, FAE, etc.) to fully understand the overall challenge and offer the
best technology solution.

For questions and additional information about our solutions, please contact the AVX Antenna Design Team.

 SELECTION PROCESS
ANTENNA SELECTION CHECKLIST

IS THIS A NEW DEVICE OR AN EXISTING DEVICE TO BE IMPROVED?

Are the mechanics frozen or flexible? Is the antenna location, shape and interconnect solution frozen?
Standard antennas have a quicker time to market compared to custom designs making it easier to integrate
them into projects, while minimizing redesign cycle time and eliminating design fees. A custom design can
be developed to match required electrical and mechanical specifications.

WHAT TYPE OF ANTENNA IS REQUIRED?

• Embedded (on board the device PCB) • Internal (inside device, but not surface mounted)
• External (outside device) • Outdoor (IP67)

WHAT ARE THE MAIN CHALLENGES FOR THIS PROJECT?

AVX offers testing, debugging, designing, and manufacturing to solve challenges including:
• RF specifications • ME specifications • Design layout • Antenna integration • Surrounding interference, etc.

IS A SPECIFIC STANDARD REQUIRED?

• Automotive (PPAP and IATF16949) • High reliability (MIL-PRF, T-Space, SRC9000, etc.)
• IP rating • UL rating • Plenum rating, etc.

WHAT ARE THE ANTENNA SURROUNDINGS?

• Metallic components (heat sink, connectors, battery, big cap) • Additional antennas • Wires • Flexible FPC
• Audio components (speaker, microphone, earpiece) • High speed digital traces • Specific ground layout
• Shield boxes • Material loading close • Human body (hand, head, body worn device) • Potting material
• Nearby power components • 50 Ohms line to antenna

WHAT IS THE DESIRED FREQUENCY RANGE, MAXIMUM VOLUME AND LOCATION?

Are the electrical and mechanical specifications available, and what is the selected antenna module? When a
bigger antenna volume is available, better performances can be expected. The AVX Antenna Design Team will
suggest the most optimized antenna shape, dimensions, and location based on the product to be developed.

WHAT TYPE OF MOUNTING IS REQUIRED?

• RF cable & connector • SMT • Mag mount • Adhesive mount • Screw mount • Off-board • Pogo pin
• C-clips (spring contacts) • One-ended soldered cable

WHAT TYPE OF CONNECTOR IS REQUIRED?

• SMA • RP-SMA • TNC • RP-TNC • U.fl • W.fl • Fakra • MMCX • BNC • N • NMO

WHAT TYPE OF CABLE IS REQUIRED?

• Micro coaxial 0.8mm, 1.13mm, or 1.37mm diameter • RG58 • RG174 • RG316 • LMR200 • LMR400
• LMR195 • LMR240

FOR AN EMBEDDED SOLUTION, IS PCB CLEARANCE POSSIBLE?

Is the PCB layout available to optimize the distance between the radio and the antenna, and the space from
any threatening surroundings?

ARE THE PCB LAYOUTS & 3D GERBER FILES AVAILABLE?

Helps to define a better antenna placement based on the surroundings and the PCB/product structure

MEASUREMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The ETH-MMW-1000 is a full anechoic millimeter wave measurement system capable of passive and active
testing of wireless devices from 18 to 110GHz. AVX is one of the only antenna companies able to provide 5G
antenna measurement systems for this range. This system is self-contained, movable, and compact enough to
fit into any laboratory or production environment.

Several AVX locations are equipped with the ETH-MMW-1000 and are able to provide local testing services in the
Americas, EMEA, and Asia. Active signaling measurements require an emulator such as ANRITSU MT8000A and
MT8821C, but Keysight or R&S equipment is also compatible.

 ACTIVE ANTENNAS
TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

ACTIVE STEERING™

Active Steering™ antenna systems boost wireless connectivity significantly. This patented technology continually optimizes
the antenna’s direction in real-time on a per-millisecond basis, creating multiple radiation patterns around the same antenna,
and then selects the ideal pattern to hit its targeted device with the best signal.

The result is a major increase in range, reliability, and speed between devices living on the fringes of a network or hidden
behind walls and hard-to-reach spaces.

Passive Omni Directional Antennas Passive Antennas Active Antennas

Are not 100% Omni Directional Have “null” areas of low emissions Eliminate nulls by “steering” the emission
in real-time by using intelligent algorithms
and flexible antenna structure

AVX ACTIVE STEERING SYSTEM COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

More Throughput/Speed More Spectral Efficiency More Reliability More Performance
Significantly faster downloads Increased network capacity Interference mitigation Maximized signal strength

IMPEDANCE MATCHING

Impedance matching technology enables

the possibility to retune an antenna system
(automatically in an open loop or closed
loop based design) using pre-determined
look-up tables or RSSI analysis based on a
patented algorithm.

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

BAND SWITCHING

With design complexity increasing every day, AVX’s patented RF

Typical Tuning / Efficiency Behavior
band switching technology is ideal for meeting harsh specifications
when the environment reduces the original bandwidth. The reduction
could be caused by the presence of metallic components, wires,
harnesses, heatsink, other antennas, LCD, shielding cans, PCB
grounding and connectors. Typical band switching architectures
use 4 switching states in the low band operations and one state in
the high band.

Typical Switch / Tune

ACTIVE COMPONENTS FOR BAND SWITCHING

Active switching technology benefits include: longer range, higher throughput and broader signal coverage. Connection
dead spots are reduced as the RF switch and antenna are designed together, allowing for a more flexible antenna system
placement and development in the device. Link optimization is obtained through a band switching concept that allows
simpler and smaller antenna architecture to cover a wider bandwidth.

EtherChip EC646™ | High Performance SP4T Antenna
