MHz to 2500 MHz

 

 
 

 

 
 
 

 
 
 

Small

 and with 

no clearance

 beyond the footprint, the ideal antenna 

features for your next IoT wireless device. 

 

 
The new 

miniature

modular

multipurpose

 antenna booster by FRACTUS ANTE

AS, DUO 

mXTEND

TM

 

(NN03-320), 

delivers 

GNSS

 

and 

Bluetooth

 

connectivity 

worldwide 

simultaneously

, thanks to its 

multiport

 nature.  

 
The  new  DUO  mXTEND

TM

  tiny

 

antenna  booster  can  get  an  optimum  performance,  while 

no 

ground  clearance

  beyond  the  antenna  footprint  is  needed,  making  this  component  the  ideal 

solution for small IoT wireless devices.  
 
Doesn’t matter the size or form factor of the wireless device, DUO mXTEND

TM

 fits in about all of 

them because is tiny, only 

7.0 x 3.0 x 2.0 mm

 giving the designer more flexibility for allocating 

the  other  electronic  components.  Since  the  device  does  not  need  any  clearance  on  the  PCB 
ground  beyond  its  antenna  footprint,  you  can  use  the  proximity  area  in  the  component  to 
arrange other element in the PCB.
