Calvus uses a ground plane in order to radiate efficiently, but the ground plane must not be present underneath the antenna itself.

The antenna uses a matching circuit to achieve optimised results for the specific frequency bands that are required. This product specification shows the performance of the antenna when optimized to cover a typical penta-band reception: GSM850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA. If the antenna is used for fewer than 5 bands, higher efficiencies are possible.
