SP Series "The Splatch"
Grounded Loop Trace 1/4-wave Monopole Antenna

The Splatch uses a grounded-line technique to achieve outstanding performance from a tiny surface-mount element. This unique antenna is designed for hand- or reflow-mounting directly to a product's circuit board. Its low cost makes it ideal for volume applications. Unlike many compact antennas, the Splatch exhibits good proximity performance, making it an appropriate choice for hand-held applications such as remote controls, pagers, and alert devices. It's typical performance is below that of some external whip antennas, but the Splatch is an excellent choice when cosmetic or mechanical issues dictate the use of an internal antenna.
