1. INTRODUCTION

The ILA.01 has excellent stability and sensitivity to consistently provide high signal reception

efficiency, 60% at centre frequency and 45% at the edges. Based on the loop effect this antenna

works the best when placed on the centre of the edge of the board, working better than

traditional linear polarized chip antennas. The antenna at 10x3.2x0.5 mm is low profile and

would be suitable for devices with space constraints. The ILA.01 is delivered on tape and reel

and now allows M2M customers to use an Omni-directional SMT antenna in devices where

orientation of the product is unknown. The ILA.01 Loop antenna can be used in automated

meter reading, (AMR), radio frequency identification (RFID), remote monitoring, healthcare,

sensing and others.
