ANT016008LCD1575MA1

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT016008LCD1575MA1 is a dual-band chip RF antenna manufactured by TDK Corporation, designed for surface mount applications. It operates across two frequency bands: 1.574GHz to 1.576GHz and 2.4GHz to 2.484GHz. The component features a gain of -2.9dBic at the lower band and 2.97dBi at the higher band, with a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 4. Its physical dimensions are 1.60mm in length, 0.80mm in width, and a maximum height of 0.40mm. The device utilizes solder termination and is classified under the ANT series for navigation purposes.

• Compact LTCC chip construction optimized for space-constrained designs
• Surface mount solder termination for automated assembly integration

Antennas RF Applications

• GPS receiver modules
• Navigation systems
• Wireless sensor networks operating at 2.4GHz

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as End-of-Life (EOL) by TDK Corporation, with the Product Change Notification dated June 3, 2022. Availability is restricted to remaining stock; once inventory is depleted, no further replenishment will occur. Verify current supplier status carefully before finalizing procurement plans due to the discontinued product status.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this part only if dual-band coverage for 1.575GHz and 2.4GHz is strictly required within a minimal footprint. The low profile of 0.40mm suits thin enclosures. Note that the VSWR of 4 indicates moderate impedance matching performance compared to newer alternatives. Ensure PCB layout guidelines for LTCC antennas are followed to maintain radiation efficiency.

Antennas RF Part Context

Part of TDK's ANT series, this component represents an older generation of LTCC chip antennas. It was widely used in earlier GPS and wireless devices requiring compact form factors. The specific model integrates both navigation and short-range communication capabilities into a single passive element, reflecting design trends from its active production period prior to discontinuation.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not explicitly provided in the source documentation. Due to the EOL status, engineers must evaluate alternative dual-band or single-band antennas from TDK or other manufacturers based on mechanical compatibility and electrical performance requirements.
