Placeholder for Mouser part number 960-NCP5820

The evolution of IoT connectivity has seen an urgent need for low power applications that can connect thousands of devices to the internet and Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is a new way to facilitate this demand. For a small compact embedded antenna, the Taoglas NCP.5820 fits will fit in many size challenged designs without performance compromises. The Taoglas NCP.5820 supports Bands 5 (824-894MHz), 8 (880-960MHz) and 20 (791-862MHz) providing global NB-IoT coverage and demonstrates excellent efficiency across all bands. The antenna measures just 14.1×8.3x2mm and as it is a surface mount antenna, it can be easily integrated into the smallest of devices. It allows device designers to take advantage of all of the benefits of NB-IoT technology, including reduced power consumption and increased battery life; increased system capacity and spectrum efficiency; and extended coverage in both rural and deep indoors environments all with a very small form factor. For Testing, the NCP.5820 can be supplied with the evaluation board NCPD.5820. Overall, this antenna is suitable for applications that need to meet the following requirements:

* Small footprint, low profile design factor

* SMD Components for assembly accuracy and reliability

* Excellent antenna efficiency helping to maintain better system gain, hence better device send and receive sensitivity (TRP & TIS)

* Excellent antenna efficiency to aid lower power consumption and increased battery life

* Global coverage for device roaming

* 100% quality and performance testing prior to shipping for reliability and consistency
