## **1. Introduction**
The PA.26A is an SMT LTE 4G antenna designed for direct SMT mount on the device PCB. It provides highest efficiency in the smallest form SMT form factor, 35*5*6mm. Due to its rectangular shape and compact size the PA.26A is very easy to integrate and can be mounted directly on the edge of the PCB. Matching is accomplished using a pi network. Using SMT (On-Board) antennas saves on labor, cable, and connector costs. SMT antennas also lead to higher integration yield rates, higher transmit power and higher sensitivity.
The PA.26A operates at all common 4G/3G/2G LTE bands; 698MHz to 960MHz, 1710MHz to 2700MHz.
Typical applications:
- Telematics Control Unit (TCU)
- HD Video over LTE
- First Responder and Emergency Services
- Intelligent Transport Systems
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- High Definition Video Broadcast Systems
- Wireless LTE M2M Devices
- Medical Devices
The antenna dimensions and footprint are exactly the same as the PA.25A, providing customers with a drop-in conversion from 2G/3G to 4G systems. Care should be taken to follow layout instructions and place antenna on the edge of board with adequate clearance to metal. Also minimum ground-plane requirements must be met to achieve targeted efficiencies. Taoglas provides optimization services for matching, and active TRP, TIS and RSE testing. Please contact your regional Taoglas sales office for support.

## **6. Transmission Line & Matching Component**
A matching component (L1 in the above drawing) in parallel with the PA.26A is required for the antenna to have optimal performance on the evaluation board, located outside of the ground plane in the space specified in the above drawings.
Additional matching components may be necessary for your device, so we recommend incorporating extra component footprints, forming a “pi” network, between the cellular module and the edge of the ground plane.

## **7. Recommended Reflow Temperature Profile**
The PA.26 can be assembled following either Sn-Pb or Pb-Free assembly processes. The recommended soldering temperatures are as follows:
