MA208AAB001 Datasheet, PDF (2/19 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – GPS and LTE/GSM/UMTS Combination Antenna

1. Introduction
The Stream MA.208 GPS/LTE Cellular
antenna is a low profile, heavy-duty,
fully IP67 waterproof external M2M
antenna for use by RF professionals in
telematics, transportation and remote
monitoring applications. The Stream is
unique in the market as it combines the
highest possible efficiency and peak gain
for GPS and all cellular bands in 2G/3G/4G
in a low profile compact format for
mounting via high quality first tier
automotive approved 3M adhesive foam.
The patent pending design incorporates
internally a custom Taoglas 35mm patch
antenna on an extended integral
ground-plane to deliver more than
3.5dBiC gain. A front-end SAW filter
dramatically reduces radiated
spurious emissions.
The extended ground-plane used with
an innovative internal cellular PIFA also
enables the unique wide-band 2G/3G/4G
response to deliver the highest
performance possible, at 3 metres
cable length. Nothing else out there comes
close in terms of consistency of efficiency
and peak gain at all cellular bands, with an
awesome 70%+ at the LTE 700MHz band,
again including 3 metres of cable loss.
High antenna efficiencies are absolutely
critical in today’s 3G and 4G systems
to achieving targeted data-speeds
and coverage.
All this is done while still maintaining
20dB isolation between antennas.
The Stream uses high-shielded PTFE
dielectric ultra low-loss cables that
maintain low attenuation at all frequency
bands, and high noise rejection, with
an average loss of only 0.3dB per meter
(0.1dB per foot), compared to 0.7dB
for RG58 and 1.2dB for RG174.
Because of this, the Stream maximizes
chances of passing PTCRB and network
approvals first time. The Stream works
best when attached to plastic or glass,
but can also be used on metal if some
foam spacing is added. The Stream comes
packaged with a separate 3M first tier
automotive approved adhesive which can
be attached to either the bottom of the top
of the product, for easy mounting directly
on glass, or on plastic.
