Specification Patent Pending Part No. : Accura UWCCP.01 Description : 6~7 GHz Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Embedded Circular Polarized SMT Chip Antenna Features : SMD UWB Chip Antenna For European and USA UWB Applications In Channels 5 Uses - Centimeter Level Positioning - Indoor Positioning - Follow Me Autonomous Positioning - Time of Arrival (TOA) Applications - Angle of Arrival (AOA) Applications - Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)Security Frequency: 6.0 7.0 GHz Dims: 14.3mm*8.35mm*2mm RoHS compliant SPE-17-8-057/AZ Page 1 of 28 1. Introduction The UWCCP.01 chip antenna, at 14.3*8.35*2 mm, is a small form factor embedded Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antenna with high efficiencies across the pulsed UWB communications operational channel 5 (6.25 GHz 6.75 GHz). It is circularly polarized and hence very suitable for use in mobile tags in standard Time of Arrival (ToA) and advanced Angle of Arrival (AoA) localization systems. It is mounted to a PCB via standard SMT reflow process. The UWCCP.01 antenna is a durable ceramic antenna that has a peak gain of 6.5dBi, an efficiency of more than 70% across the channel 5 and is designed to be mounted directly onto a PCB. It is an ideal choice for any device maker that needs to keep manufacturing costs down over the lifetime of a product. Like all such antennas, care should be taken to mount the antenna at least 3mm from metal components or surfaces, and ideally 5mm for best radiation efficiency. Ultra-Wideband (also known as UWB) is a low power digital wireless technology for transmitting large amounts of digital data over a wide spectrum of frequency bands typically spanning more than 500MHz with very low power for short distances. The low power requirements of UWB mean increased battery life of sensors and tags leading to reduction in overall operational costs. Besides the chip antenna line, Taoglas has also developed innovative and new-to- market flexible embedded UWB antennas designed for seamless integration on plastics and using highly flexible micro-coaxial cable mounting while achieving high performance where space is limited. Taoglas UWB antennas have been designed for use with the recently launched Decawave ScenSor DW1000 module and are also compatible with any other UWB sensor modules on the market.
