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 are typically < 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 & optimized very easily making prototyping quick & 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°. Gain at boresite (90° elevation) can exceed 6 dBi depending upon the proper selection of a ground plane.
