PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NN03-320 

 

The  DUO mXTEND

TM

  antenna  booster  has  been  specifically  designed  for  providing  worldwide 

Global  Navigation  Satellite  Systems  (GNSS)  and  Bluetooth  (BT)  performance  in  wireless 
devices with small space requirements. It is a miniature antenna capable of being adapted, with 
a high level of flexibility, to the antenna designer needs. The DUO mXTEND

TM

 antenna booster 

does  not  require  further  clearance  area  beyond  its  reduced  footprint,  making  it  an  ideal 
alternative to larger custom antennas for small and portable tracking devices.

The DUO mXTEND

TM

 antenna booster belongs to a new generation of antenna solutions based 

on  Virtual  Antenna

TM

  technology  owned  by  FRACTUS  ANTE

NN

AS.  This  technology  enables 

replacing  conventional  and  custom  antenna  solutions  by  a  new  class  of  so-called  antenna 
boosters,  delivered  in  the  form  of  a  new  range  of  miniature  and  off-the-shelf  chip  antenna 
components. These new chip antennas are by nature multiband and multipurpose, so they fit in 
a  variety  of  wireless  platforms  to  provide  a  wireless  link  at  many  different  communication 
services.  By  using  a  Virtual  Antenna

TM

  component  the  design  becomes  more  predictable 

compared to a custom solution, making the whole process 

faster, cheaper and easier.
