## Overview
The YC0018CA is a compact form factor SMT mount PCB antenna for 5G applications. Due to the dimensions of 40mm x 7mm x 3mm, it is designed for very small space requirements for smart metering, remote monitoring, vehicle tracking and telematics, and many other IoT devices. The YC0018CA is a ground-depended monopole antenna, using main PCB as its ground plane. It is delivered on tape and reel.

The YC0018CA is a PCB antenna that can be mounted on super compact space requirement terminals. Despite its small factor, it has up to 75.8% efficiency in working bands. This antenna is developed on a 140mm x 40mm evaluation board. If the devices have different ground sizes, a matching circuit can be used to tune the resonant frequency correctly. We also offer gerber file, 2D and 3D documents for PCB layout.

The YC0018CA allows high efficiency, stable signal transmission and reception for 5G working bands in 617–960MHz, 1420–1520MHz, 1710–2690MHz, 3300–4200MHz, 4400–5000MHz, 5150–5850MHz. This product is RoHS and REACH compliant. Typical applications for the YC0018CA include asset tracking, smart metering, fleet management, and IoT sensors and modules.
