Differences among PCB antenna, FPC antenna and LDS antenna

1、 PCB antenna

Cellular / WiFi multi band embedded flexible PCB antenna. PCB antenna is widely used in single band module circuit boards such as Bluetooth module, WiFi module and ZigBee module.

Features: low cost, no need to debug again after one debugging.

2、 FPC antenna

It is equivalent to pulling out the antenna line on the PCB and making the antenna with other external metal. It is usually used in medium and low-end mobile phones and intelligent hardware products with complex frequency bands.

Features: FPC antenna is applicable to almost all small electronic products. It can be used as a complex antenna with more than 10 frequency bands. It has good performance and low cost.

3、 LDS antenna

LDS antenna is an evolved version of FPC antenna, with high space utilization. FPC line is stamped out. It must be flat and cannot punch out complex shapes. FPC antenna is a whole plane. Although it can be bent, it can not be too complex. LDS antenna carves the pattern of the antenna by laser, which is very suitable for applications with compact internal space.

Features: it can make full use of various irregular surfaces in the three-dimensional space to reduce the volume of the antenna. However, the price is more expensive, one order of magnitude more expensive than FPC antenna, and there are many special requirements for the process of the outer surface of the product.
