ILA09 Datasheet, PDF (2/18 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – ISM 915MHz Chip Antenna

1. Introduction
The ILA.09 is a new 915 MHz ISM band embedded ceramic loop antenna from
Taoglas featuring good efficiency of 55% at the center of the band. It is the perfect
solution for the growing number of devices using the 915MHz band such as Sigfox
and LoRa pplications in the US, or in metering application.
This antenna works the best when placed at the center of the board edge. The
ILA.09 antenna, at 5 x 3 x 0.5 mm, is low profile and would be suitable for devices
with space constraints. The ILA.09 is delivered on tape and reel and now allows
M2M customers to use an omni-directional SMT antenna. The omni-directional
radiation characteristics allow for excellent performance regardless of device
orientation. This is especially useful for devices that are not fixed in one particular
spot during use. When there is little PCB space available for antenna placement, but
high performance is required, the ILA.09 is the ideal choice.
The antenna is manufactured in a TS16949 first tier automotive approved facility
and has passed the most stringent reliability testing. Since it is SMD, it is much
easier to integrate and more reliable in high volume production compared to helical
antennas which are cumbersome to install and subject to variability due to need for
manual assembly.
Typical Applications:
- Sigfox
- Lora
- LPWAN
- Automated Meter Reading (AMR)
- RFID
- Remote Monitoring
- Healthcare
- Sensing
- Alarm Systems
- Handheld Devices
