## 1. Introduction 

The Havok PCS.06.M is a low profile 4G Cellular SMD Dielectric embedded antenna designed for direct SMD mount on a device PCB. It provides high efficiency in a very small factor 42*10*3mm. If tuning is required it can be tuned for the device environment, while there is no need for new tooling. 

Its rectangular shape and very small size make it very easy to integrate – packaged in tape and reel, it can be mounted via pick and place to reflow solder directly on the edge of the PCB board. This antenna is recommended to be used with longer ground-plane lengths of 120mm or more to attain its highest rated efficiency, note the return loss and efficiency graphs in this datasheet. 

The PCS.06.M is a mirrored version of the standard PCS.06.A and it has been designed to operate in parallel with the PCS.06.A in a MIMO system. 

Typical Applications Include: 

- Handheld Devices 

- Remote Monitoring 

- MIMO Cellular Devices 

The antenna is suitable for lower cost cellular applications, especially for telematics and automotive sector. Contact your regional Taoglas customer support team for quick and professional support from our senior engineering team on integration and matching of the antenna to your device.

## **6.1** Schematic Symbol and Pin Definition _ 

The circuit symbol for the antenna is shown below. The antenna has 4 pins with only two pins (Pin 1 and Pin 2) as functional. Pins 3 and 4 are for mechanical strength.

## **6.2** Antenna Integration |[4] 

Whatever the size of the PCB, the antenna should ideally be placed on the PCB’s shortest side, to take advantage of the ground plane. Optimized matching components can be placed as shown. 

## **6.3** PCB Layout |[4] 

The footprint and clearance on the PCB must meet the antenna specification. An example of the PCB layout shows the antenna footprint with clearance. Note the placement of the optimized components. L1 is positioned outside the ground plane and C1 is sitting across the ground plane and the copper clearance area. C2 is optional as a component but it is recommended to include these pads in case they are needed.

## **6.4** PCB Clearance 

Below shows the antenna footprint and clearance through ALL layers on the PCB. Only the antenna pads and connections to feed and GND are present within this clearance area (marked RED). The clearance area extends to 5mm from the antenna mechanical pads to the ground area. This clearance area includes the bottom side and ALL internal layers on the PCB.

## **6.7** Evaluation Board Matching Circuit 

A matching component (L1) in parallel with the PCS.06.M 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 images. C1 is also required as a matching component for this antenna. C1 is positioned sitting across the ground plane as shown in the above images. 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.
