2.4 GHz chip antennas connect IoT devices to networks

KYOCERA AVX offers a range of highly compact and high-performance internal, on-board, multiprotocol, 2.4GHz antennas designed for system-in-package (SiP) applications, which are experiencing increased demand.

SiP modules integrate multiple integrated circuits (ICs) with different functionalities into a single miniature chip carrier package, often including silicon and passive components. These modules handle most, if not all, functions of an electronic system, such as processing, memory, and specialized functions. They are widely used in industries facing challenges related to miniaturization, performance, and cost optimization due to their small size, flexible, high-performance capabilities, and simplified assembly, resulting in faster design cycles and improved time-to-market. With the continuous growth of the 5G mobile, wearable device, high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and autonomous vehicle industries, the SiP market, valued at $15.36 billion in 2023, is projected to more than double to $35.20 billion by 2031.

KYOCERA AVX provides a selection of extremely small and lightweight, high-performance, lab- and field-tested on-board, multiprotocol, 2.4GHz antennas suitable for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, mass market applications utilizing SiP modules. These antennas are RoHS-compliant, packaged on tape and reel for automated pick and place assembly, and include:

1001312 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Zigbee/Matter Ceramic Antenna. This linearly polarized ceramic antenna offers high efficiency (62%), 1.88dBi peak gain, and superior RF field containment in a miniature 2.0 x 1.2 x 0.55mm SMT package weighing just 0.003g. It supports the 2,400–2,485MHz band and configurations for 6.0–8.5GHz for UWB applications, available in an A-Series automotive version (A1001312) as well.

9005868 2.4GHz Corner Chip Antenna. This linearly polarized chip antenna supports various protocols and is designed for corner placement, making it suitable for applications with small PCBs. It offers high efficiency (72%), 4.0dBi peak gain, and superior RF field containment in a small SMT package measuring just 1.0 x 0.58 x 0.35mm and weighing only 0.0009g. It operates in temperatures from -55°C to +125°C, providing reliability and repeatability over temperature compared to traditional ceramic chip antennas, available in an A-Series automotive version (A9005868).
