Patch Antennas

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.
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.
