ACAG & ACAR Antenna Evaluation Boards

Abracon ACAG and ACAR Antenna Evaluation Boards are designed to evaluate ceramic-type chip antennas made using Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology. The antennas are omnidirectional and exhibit linear polarization. The ACAG boards operate at a frequency range from 433MHz to 5.5GHz, whereas the ACAR evaluation boards operate at a frequency range from 698MHz to 5.5GHz. The performance of these antennas can be evaluated by calibrating the Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) for the testing frequency band and connecting the board to the calibrated port using the given SMA connector on the board. These chips can be used for applications including but not limited to 2G/3G/GSM/4G/LTE, LPWA, Wi-Fi, BLUETOOTH©, GPS, and ISM.
