Antenova Adds Ultra-small Indica 2.4GHz MDA Ceramic Chip Antenna to gigaNOVA Range of Standard Antennas

“We are experiencing a global mega-trend of connected devices, with an ever growing range of embedded wireless applications, devices and markets,” stated Greg McCray, CEO of Antenova. “The ESL market for retail stores alone is projected to be in the region of 5 billion units in North America and 10 billion units globally. Indica A10381 is extremely well suited for ESL devices, not only because of its very small size but because it performs especially well in the proximity of metal objects such as metal shelving and product tins. Indica is based on Antenova’s patented MDA technology which has enabled us to develop such a small, high performing antenna that is highly resistant to de-tuning. Indica may be the smallest and most efficient embedded antenna for 2.4GHz applications on the market.”

Indica A10381 is an ultra-small 2.4GHz MDA ceramic chip antenna with 70% efficiency. It is a mere 3.3 x 1.6 x 0.65mm3 in size and weighs less than 0.016g. Indica is suitable for all 2.4GHz applications such as Bluetooth wireless headsets and the new generation of Bluetooth Low Energy medical devices. Indica A10381 is intended for SMD mounting, supplied in tape on reel and available for volume purchase through Antenova’s global network of leading distributors and agents.
