It consists of a rectangular block of low-dielectric ceramic material and is fabricated in a water-based non-toxic process. The antenna is capable of providing good connectivity using near 50 Ω microstrip directly onto the PC board. The foil making process uses an environmentfriendly aqueous-solvent technology that fully complies with today’s green-product design requirements. All terminations are lead-free. Packing materials can be recycled. • Simplifies antenna circuitry • NiSn lead-free terminations • suitable for wave and reflow soldering • Supplied in tape on reel. APPLICATIONS • Telecommunications • Computing (PCs, printers, PDAs) • Wireless office data communications including WLAN • Consumer electronics (wireless headphones).

The antenna has built-in circuitry to the ground termination. Connecting the antenna’s ground point to the system’s RF ground plane is optional. If good matching is achieved, the ground termination is then used as a solder joint (like S1, S2, S3, and S4) to fix the antenna to the substrate only.

Basic dimensions are given in Figs 7 and 8, and Tables 4 and 5. • Cover tape, carrier tape and reel do not contain environmentally-harmful PVC materials. • Tape and reel are antistatic. • Because the carrier tape is made of polycarbonate, a homogeneous material (mono-plastic), it is ideally suited for recycling. Peel-off force Peel-off force of the blister tape is in accordance with “IEC 60286-3” ; that is, at a peel-off speed of 300 ±10 mm/minute, 0.1 N to 1.3 N for 16 mm tape. The peel-off angle should be between 165° and 180°. • Compared to other PVC-free materials polycarbonate shows excellent stiffness and very little deformation with temperature.
