FXP07.09.0100A Datasheet, PDF (3/11 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – Flexible PCB Penta Band GSM Antenna

2.1 Mounting instructions and ground-plane connection
Peel back 3m paper. On the underside of the antenna is automotive grade 3m adhesive
(glue) for sticking the FXP.07 directly to plastic (e.g. housing). The antenna can be
curved around housing but should not be folded sharply
Ground connection - this small
square pad at the bottom of the
FXP.07 can be seen when paper is
removed. This should be connected
to extra ground or metal to increase
efficiency (e.g. allow pad to touch
the side of a PCB like the picture
above
This is the antenna
trace or signal feed
and should be allowed
to be free from the
PCB and allowed to
exist in free area on
non metal area
(plastic housing)_
