Courtesy of Taoglas Reach Series
The Taoglas Reach Series is the new revolutionary patent pending series which covers all cellular bands and all sub-6 GHz 5G deployments. The PCS.66.A covers the 600MH -6000MHz spectrum supporting Band 71, all on a small form factor of 32.0×25.0×1.6 mm size. The PCS.86.A is a slightly smaller form factor and covers 791 MHz to 6000 MHz with a form factor size of 32 x 16 x 1.6 mm.
The Taoglas Reach series will help to address the new low-band frequencies for Verizon and CBRS in the US, as well as most new module chipsets and they are backwards compatible with all 4G/3G/2G applications, including LTE / GSM /CDMA / DCS / PCS / WCDMA / UMTS / HSDPA / GPRS /EDGE / IMT / Wi-Fi / CBRS 600 MHz to 6000 MHz.

Smallest Wideband 5G SMT Antenna Compatible for Sub-6GHz Verizon and CBRS Deployments
The Taoglas Reach PCS.86 is the smallest wideband 5G SMT antenna compatible for sub-6GHz Verizon and CBRS deployments. It is a revolutionary, low profile, small footprint, patent-pending SMD mount PCB wide-band antenna. The revolutionary, low profile, patent-pending PCS.86.A has been designed to cover LTE cellular bands and all sub-6 GHz 5G deployments across the 791MHz to 6000MHz spectrum on a very small footprint of just 32 x 16mm. It also covers 3G and 2G bands to allow for fall-back when LTE is not available.
The patent-pending design uses printed circuit board material and innovative design techniques to deliver the highest efficiencies at all bands when mounted on the device’s main PCB. The PCS.66.A is suitable for lower cost LTE applications, especially IoT projects requiring wide bandwidth and comes supplied on tape and reel to allow it be mounted via ‘pick & place’ onto the PCB.
If tuning is required, it can also be tuned specifically depending on device environment. If the extended LTE Band 71 is required, the Reach PCS.66, covering 600 – 6000MHz, could be an option with a slightly larger footprint of 32 x 25mm.

Wideband Antenna for sub-6 GHz 5G Deployments
The Taoglas Reach PCS.66 is part of the new revolutionary patent pending series. The PCS.66 covers all cellular bands and all sub-6 GHz 5G deployments within the 600MH – 6000MHz spectrum.

Key Advantages:
Highest efficiency in small size:
A comparative antenna, for example, metal/ceramic/FPC, would have much-reduced efficiency in this configuration due to their high substrate loss at high frequencies. Very high-efficiency antennas are critical to 4G and 5G devices ability to deliver the stated data-speed rates of systems such as 5G NR and LTE.
Low profile:
Many antennas require a large keep-out area in addition to the mechanical size to work correctly, which limits the usable PCB space. The Reach requires only .3 mm of additional keep-out, allowing board designers to maximize their PCB space.
Adaptable:
The high radiation efficiency of the Taoglas Reach Series over its entire operating bandwidth means that the total efficiency is only limited by the impedance mismatch loss. As a result, this antenna can be optimized via a matching network to the specific bands needed for any application. Efficiencies as high as 90% have been measured when the return loss is very high (-15 dB or more).
More resistant to detuning compared to other antenna integrations:
If tuning is required it can be tuned for the device environment using a matching circuit, or other techniques on the main PCB itself. There is no need for new tooling, thereby saving money if customization is required.
Surface Mount Distribution (Directly On-Board):
This antenna saves on labor, cable and connector costs, leads to higher integration yield rates, and reduces losses in transmission.
Minimum Transmission and Reception Losses:
These are kept to an absolute minimum resulting in much improved OTA (over the air), i.e. TRP (Total Radiated Power)/ TIS (Total Isotropic Sensitivity), device performance compared to similar efficiency cable and connector antenna solutions. This means it is an ideal antenna to be used for devices that need to pass for example USA carrier network approvals.
