TYCO ELECTRONICS DEVELOPS
M/A-COM RADIATING CABLE ANTENNA SERIES
 New
Broadband Antenna Line Compatible with
Cellular, Bluetooth and WLAN Frequency Bands
LOWELL, Mass.
– June 5, 2007 – Tyco Electronics today
announced a new line of M/A-COM radiating
cable antennas, which is designed to replace
conventional antennas in applications that
require wide frequency bandwidths and
deployment in physical spaces that present
extreme challenges to traditional antenna
solutions. The M/A-COM radiating cable
antenna series is ideal for cellular,
Bluetooth and WLAN frequency band
installations, as well as airborne,
vehicular and ground-based applications. The
series’ unique antenna assemblies feature a
low-loss, flexible, coaxial cable
construction, which incorporates radiating
apertures in the cable’s outer conductor.
“Because we
maintain all of our cable design and
manufacturing capability in-house, we can
provide customized constructions that can
fully meet installation and application
requirements on a made to order basis,” said
Ray Schwartz, cable technologist, Tyco
Electronics M/A-COM Cable Products. “In
addition, we also design and manufacture our
own connectors. As a result, we can optimize
the critical cable-to-connector transition,
as well as the electrical performance of the
connector interface for each assembly –
making M/A-COM’s new antenna line the
perfect solution for any manufacturer’s
radiating cable antenna requirements.”
The M/A-COM
radiating cable antennas operate over broad
frequency ranges (400 MHz – 6,000 MHz) and
can be used for transmit, receive and
simultaneous Tx/Rx applications. If desired,
the M/A-COM antenna engineering staff can
tailor the apertures for optimal performance
over specific frequency bands. The antenna
construction is rugged, meeting
environmental performance requirements for
operating temperature, thermal shock,
weather resistance, vibration, shock,
flammability, smoke density and toxicity.
Tyco Electronics
has produced cable antennas up to
approximately 200 feet in length with
uniform gain along the entire length of the
antenna. An end-to-end extruded FEP
(fluorinated ethylene propylene) jacket
protects the apertures and prevents moisture
ingression should the radiating cable be
installed in humid or moist areas.
