Product Overview
The TXGN-FPC-4410 is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) built-in antenna engineered for 2G/GSM/GPRS and NB-IoT applications. It covers dual bands — 824–960 MHz and 1710–2170 MHz — with a measured peak gain of 3.0 dBi and VSWR ≤ 2.0. The ultra-slim 44 × 10 mm patch with 120 mm IPEX-1 cable integrates directly into compact IoT terminals, smart meters, and asset trackers without external protrusion. Updated March 2026.

Product Details
Dual-Band Coverage for 2G & NB-IoT Networks
The TXGN-FPC-4410 simultaneously covers the 824–960 MHz low band (GSM 850/900) and 1710–2170 MHz high band (GSM 1800/1900, WCDMA, NB-IoT B3/B8). With a 3.0 dBi peak gain and VSWR ≤ 2.0 across the full range, it maintains stable signal integrity in multi-operator environments without requiring band-switching hardware.

Ultra-Slim Flexible FPC Patch with Adhesive Mounting
At just 44 × 10 mm, the FPC substrate conforms to curved plastic enclosures and fits inside compact device housings where rigid PCB antennas cannot. The integrated self-adhesive backing enables tool-free installation on flat or slightly curved surfaces, reducing assembly time in high-volume production lines.

Professional Test Report
S-parameter measurements confirm VSWR ≤ 2.0 across the full 824–2170 MHz operating range. Return loss (S11) data captured with a vector network analyzer traceable to NIST standards.

Q: Is the TXGN-FPC-4410 compatible with NB-IoT modules such as Quectel BC660 or SIMCom SIM7020?
A: Yes. The antenna's IPEX-1 (U.FL) connector is the standard interface used by most NB-IoT and GSM modules, including Quectel BC660, BC66, SIMCom SIM7020, and similar compact modules. It covers NB-IoT Band 8 (900 MHz) and Band 3 (1800 MHz), which are the primary deployment bands in Europe and Asia. Verify your module's supported bands against the antenna's 824–960 MHz and 1710–2170 MHz coverage before integration.
Q: How should the TXGN-FPC-4410 be installed inside a plastic enclosure?
A: Clean the mounting surface with isopropyl alcohol and allow it to dry. Peel the protective liner from the self-adhesive backing and press the FPC patch firmly onto a flat or gently curved non-metallic surface. Maintain a minimum clearance of 5 mm from metal components or ground planes to avoid detuning. Route the 120 mm IPEX cable to the module connector without sharp bends (minimum bend radius: 5 mm). Avoid mounting directly on or adjacent to metal chassis walls.
Q: What is the operating temperature range, and is the antenna suitable for outdoor or industrial use?
A: The TXGN-FPC-4410 is rated for an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial environments. However, as a built-in FPC antenna, it is designed for installation inside a sealed enclosure rather than direct outdoor exposure. For outdoor deployments, ensure the host device provides adequate IP-rated protection (IP65 or higher recommended). The FPC substrate maintains flexibility and adhesion across the full temperature range.
Q: Can cable length or connector type be customized for OEM orders?
A: Yes. The standard configuration ships with a 120 mm RG1.13 cable and IPEX-1 connector. For OEM and bulk orders, custom cable lengths (50–300 mm typical), alternative connector types (SMA, MMCX, MHF4), and custom FPC dimensions are available.
