| Part | YPCS002AA |
| Manufacturer | Quectel Wireless Solutions Co., Ltd. |
Table
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Embedded 4G SMD antenna |
| Bands | Main 4G LTE bands, compatible with 3G / 2G / LPWA |
| Frequency range | 791-960 MHz |
| Impedance | 50 Ω |
| VSWR | ≤ 3.2 |
| Polarization | Linear |
| Gain | Datasheet spec shows ≤ -1.08 dBi; measured plots show about -3.09 to -3.98 dBi across sample frequencies |
| Efficiency | About 20.54% to 26.27% in the extracted test data |
| Size | 20 x 11 x 1.6 mm |
| Mounting | Soldered SMD, host-PCB mounted |
| Temperature | -40 °C to +85 °C |
Table
| Area | Project | Datasheet | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terminal count | 2 terminal elements | Datasheet drawing suggests 9 physical solder pads | Potential mismatch |
| Pin numbering | Project uses only 5 and 6 | Datasheet extract does not provide numbered pad definitions | Cannot fully verify |
| Pin descriptions | Missing | Datasheet extract does not provide explicit pin descriptions | Not verifiable |
| Footprint pad count | Layout data shows a 9-pad physical pattern in the footprint structure | Datasheet drawing also suggests 9 pads | Looks consistent mechanically |
| Symbol completeness | Only 2 electrical terminals are defined | Datasheet does not define a symbol | Ambiguous, but likely intentional if only feed/return are meant to be exposed electrically |
Table
| Priority | Action |
|---|---|
| High | Add Manufacturer Name = Quectel |
| High | Add Package or Case Code based on the mechanical package naming you want to use |
| High | Manually inspect the datasheet drawing page to confirm whether pads 1-4 and 7-9 are ground/mechanical pads, and whether only pads 5-6 are intended as electrical terminals |
| Medium | Add pin descriptions once the pad functions are confirmed |
| Medium | Tighten the project description to match the datasheet wording: embedded LPWA/ISM / LTE SMD PCB chip monopole antenna |
