## **1. Introduction** 

The ILA.02 is a 868 MHz ISM band antenna featuring an excellent efficiency of 60% across the band. This antenna works the best when placed at the center of the board edge. The antenna, at 10 x 3.2 x 0.5 mm, is low profile and would be suitable for devices with space constraints. The ILA.02 is delivered on tape and reel and now allows M2M customers to use an omni-directional SMT antenna. The omni-directional radiation characteristics allow for excellent performance regardless of device orientation. This is especially useful for devices that are not fixed in one particular spot during use. When there is little PCB space available for antenna placement, but high performance is required, the ILA.02 is the ideal choice. The ILA.02 Loop antenna can be used in automated meter reading (AMR), radio frequency identification (RFID), remote monitoring, healthcare, sensing, and other 868 MHz applications.

## **5. Layout Guide** 

## **5.1. Solder Land pattern** 

Land pattern for soldering is as shown below. A matching circuit similar to the one shown in section 5.3 is also required. 

**Figure 8.** Foot Print Drawing of the ILA.02 Antenna

## **5.2. Matching Circuit** 

Like all antennas, surrounding components, enclosures, and changes to the GND plane dimensions can alter performance. A pi-matching network like the one shown below is required in case adjustments need to be made. The antenna EVB has a similar matching network. The components on the EVB are a good starting point for a new design, but will need to be adjusted upon integration for best performance. The zero ohm resistor is needed for the ability to solder down a coax pigtail to make measurements with a vector network analyzer.
