ANT-LTE-MON-SMA Datasheet by TE Connectivity Linx

Lir'ix' TECHNOLOGIES Features
– 1 –Revised 4/9/2019
Product Description
The Linx MON Series LTE antenna is a high-end
design that provides excellent performance in a
tiny package. It offers higher efficiency at the lower
frequency bands on a smaller ground plane than
competitive products. This equates to better range
in a smaller product size, saving valuable real
estate in the design. The tilt and swivel joint design
allows for the antenna to be positioned for optimum
performance in the product or folded against the
enclosure for shipping or transport. This durable
and versatile design also reduces any damage from
impact force compared to a fixed design.
This combination of high performance and small
size makes the MON Series ideal for small devices,
particularly when used for the Internet of Things
(IoT) and with the CAT-M1 and NB-IOT standards.
Also covering all major bands used by LTE, 3G and
4G cellular technologies, the MON Series is backed
by the thorough testing and validation and rigorous
quality control that Linx is known for.

Matching Network
A given design may not be able to incorporate the same size ground plane as was used to design and test
the antenna. The antenna’s performance can vary widely with the ground plane size, which will affect the
product’s range and other characteristics. It is possible to adjust the performance using a matching network.
This can enable the integrator to be able to optimize performance in a specific band or to level performance
across all bands.
The most common matching network is a PI circuit between the antenna and the radio. This is two
capacitors to ground on either side of a series inductor. The values can be selected to electrically tune the
antenna. It does take test equipment such as a network analyzer to get this right.
The values of the matching components are determined experimentally on the product’s board. There are
many variables that play into the antenna’s final performance, so it is very difficult to predict what it will do
on any specific design. It is best to design in the matching network, see what the antenna does on the
prototype and then dial the performance in with the network components. Not all of the components may be
needed on a particular design, so they do not need to be populated in production. But it is a good idea to
have the component pads on the board in case they are needed.
The components should be placed close to the antenna connection. The component pads should be placed
on the 50-ohm line between the radio and the antenna.
Linx Technologies offers a service to help customers tune our antennas to their circuit boards. Please contact
Linx for more details.
