CA.51 5.9GHz DSRC Ceramic Chip Antenna

Ceramic Chip Antenna Specifically Designed For IEEE 802.11p / DSRC Applications

The Taoglas CA.51 is a ceramic chip antenna specifically designed for 5.9GHz DSRC applications. Primarily designated for vehicle safety applications, DSRC offers high-speed, low-latency wireless communication over short distances. The CA.51 exhibits high-efficiency in a miniature SMD mount ceramic antenna with a small footprint requirement. This ceramic chip antenna uses the main PCB as its ground plane, thereby increasing antenna efficiency and decreasing the assembly cost. It is tuned for different PCB sizes by simply changing the value of the matching circuit. At 1.6mm*0.8mm*0.3mm, it is one of the smallest antennas available worldwide. This antenna is delivered on tape and reel.

This antenna can be mounted with no performance degradation in either orientation if the antenna is soldered correctly via surface mounting. Please see the integration instructions section for further detail regarding the optimum way to integrate this antenna into your device.

Applications:

• IEEE 802.11p (WAVE- Wireless Access in the Vehicular Environment)
• DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication) systems for the automotive industry
