DESCRIPTION
The VJ5601M915MXBSR ceramic chip antenna is a small
form-factor, high-performance, chip-antenna designed for
operation at 915 MHz. It allows manufacturers to design
high quality products that do not bear the penalty of a large
external antenna, and is designed to be assembled onto a
PC board using a standard reflow process.
The VJ5601M915 is the latest in a family of products
developed by Vishay, a world leader in manufacturing of
discrete and passive components.
The VJ5601M915 series are small form-factor,
high-performance chip-antennas optimized for medical,
remote sensing, industrial, security, and RFID applications.
Utilizing unique Vishay materials and manufacturing
technologies, these products when properly tuned also
comply with the MBRAI standard for portable
communication.
FEATURES
• Small outline (15.5 mm x 10.5 mm x 1.2 mm)
• 50 : unbalanced tuning interface
(max. 1.73 dBi gain
(1)
)
• Assembled onto a PCB in the standard reflow
process
• 160 MHz half-power tuned bandwidth (835 to 995 MHz)
• High-reliability ceramic-oxide body construction
• Low-RF loss, high-Q ceramic
• Lead (Pb)-free / wet build process
• Reliable Noble Metal Electrode (NME) system
• Wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C)
• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance

Note
(1)
See figures 1 through 6 for more details on the radiation pattern
(antenna gain) at 915 MHz; the PCB board ground is shorted to
earth ground for tuning.
APPLICATIONS
• Medical telemetry (internal/external)
• Remote sensing and control
• Industrial automation and telemetry
• Security systems, home automation
• Long range RFID
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Operating temperature: -40 °C to +85 °C
Frequency range (transmission/reception): 835 MHz to 995
MHz
Note
• Electrical characteristics at +25 °C unless otherwise specified.
Antenna performance is measured at 915 MHz and 50 :
impedance unless otherwise specified. The best results are
obtained by mounting the chip following the layout guidelines
application note for the evaluation kit.
