Patch Antenna Elements & Assemblies
  • Small Footprint: dimensions for antennas from 1 GHz to 6 GHz are from 13mm to 50mm square (excluding the groundplane).
  • Low Profile: antennas designed with higher dielectric values typically are <8mm in height and depending upon your bandwidth requirement can be as low as 4mm.
  • Lightweight: these small antennas can be worn on people with little notice.
  • Versatile: the antennas not only transmit and received circularly polarized signals but also linearly polarized signals.
  • Low cost: antenna elements are very affordable in small and large volume.
  • Flexible: antennas can be tuned and optimized very easily making prototyping quick and cost effective.
  • Omni-directional: antenna radiation patterns provide excellent gain across all elevation angles but can also be manipulated for more focused requirements.
  • Performance: these passive devices offer typical gain response from 0 dBi to 3 dBi for Half-Power Beamwidths of 110 degrees. Gain at boresite (90 degrees elevation) can exceed 6 dBi depending upon the proper selection of a ground plane.
Patch Antenna Series AC

AC Series

Patch Antenna mounted on a ground plane with a connector mounted directly to the PCB. Standard connector is MMCX.

Patch Antenna Series AP

AP Series

Patch Antenna mounted on a ground plane with a pigtail cable to a connector. Standard designs have 6" (15.2 cm) RG-316 cables, connector varies by application. Alternative lengths & connectors available.

Patch Antenna Series AR

AR Series

Patch Antenna mounted on an optimized ground plane with a pigtail cable to a connector, which is tuned and packaged for the plastic radome that covers the complete assembly. Standard cable is RG-316 to MMCX or SMA connectors, others available.
