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.

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