Fractus Antennas Launches Tiny 5G Mobile Antenna

No clearance required beyond the footprint

February 21, 2019

Fractus Antennas announced the DUO mXTEND™, a tiny antenna booster that enables full 5G connectivity and does not require clearance area beyond its small footprint.

The new miniature, multi-port antenna booster by Fractus Antennas covers the 3.4 to 3.8 GHz 5G band and, due to the dual port configuration, it can be used at both the PCB corner or the center edge of the board, with both positions supporting optimum performance.

The size or form factor of the wireless device doesn't matter: DUO mXTEND essentially fits in all of them because of its small size — only 7.0 mm x 3.0 mm x 2.0 mm. The booster can be assembled on the PCB at the corner or the center edge of the board, both giving optimum performance. This allows the designer the freedom to allocate the other electronic components.

The new antenna booster is an ideal component for flexibility embedding 5G into any wireless device and an easy way to upgrade any product to 5G.
