Antennas RF datasheet and documents for YC0018CA

YC0018CA

Antennas RF Overview

The Quectel YC0018CA is a compact embedded 5G SMT mount antenna designed for surface-mount technology assembly. It supports 5G NR Sub-6GHz frequency bands and remains compatible with 4G, 3G, 2G, and LPWA standards. The component features an In-Fed Antenna (IFA) configuration within a rectangular mechanical form factor measuring 40 mm in length, 7 mm in width, and 3 mm in height. It operates across six distinct frequency groups: 600–960 MHz, 1.43–1.71 GHz, 1.71–2.17 GHz, 2.3–2.7 GHz, 3.3–5 GHz, and 5.1–6 GHz. The device utilizes SMD/SMT end termination types and is packaged in reels for automated manufacturing processes.
