Antenna FactorAntenna Factor "Splatch" Antenna for MICS BandMerlin, Oregon -- June 3, 2009 -- Antenna Factor's popular Splatch embeddable antenna is now available in the Medical Implant Communication Service (MICS) frequency band. The antenna is centered at 403 MHz and designed to cover from 402-405 MHz, making it well suited for MICS as well as a wide variety of general RF applications.

It measures 1.1"L x 0.5"W x 0.062"H, exhibits a 50-ohm characteristic impedance, and has a typical VSWR of less than 1.9. The antenna costs less than $1.00 in volume and will be available along with an evaluation kit in January, 2009.
