Surface Mount Ceramic Chip Antennas for 868 MHz
VJ5601M868MXBSR chip antenna product
Vishay VJ5601M868MXBSR chip antennas are covered by
one or more of the following patents:
WO2008250262 (A1), US2008303720 (A1), US2008305750
(A1), WO2008154173 (A1)
Other patents are pending.
DESCRIPTION
The VJ5601M868MXBSR ceramic chip antenna is a small
form-factor, high-performance, chip-antenna designed for
operation at 868 MHz. It allows manufacturers to design
high quality products that do not bear the penalty of a large
external antenna, and is designed to be assembled onto a
PC board using a standard reflow process.
The VJ5601M868 is the latest in a family of products
developed by Vishay, a world leader in manufacturing of
discrete and passive components.
The     VJ5601M868     series     are     small     form-factor,
high-performance chip-antennas optimized for medical,
remote sensing, industrial, security, and RFID applications.
Utilizing   unique   Vishay   materials   and   manufacturing
technologies, these products when properly tuned also
comply    with    the    MBRAI    standard    for    portable
communication.

Note
(1)
See figures 1 through 6 for more details on the radiation pattern
(antenna gain) at 868 MHz; the PCB board ground is shorted to
earth ground for tuning.
