PCB antennas
Solid State Supplies has announced the availability of two internal PCB antennas from Pulse, which can achieve 2dBi gains with omnidirectional radiation patterns for 360deg coverage.
The antennas are designed with machine-to-machine (M2M) communications in mind and the range includes both ISM2.4GHz and GSM models.
Pulse's W3525 antenna is designed for use in the ISM2.4GHz band, making it suitable for Zigbee or IEE802.11b/g WLAN standards.
This internal PCB antenna offers 2dBi peak gain with omnidirectional coverage and can be used in M2M communications systems in utility meters, data logging, home networking, smart grid networks, short-range point-to-point communications, remote control and other industrial control applications.
The antenna's compact size (10.7mm x 47.7mm x 0.8mm) contributes to keeping overall product size down.
The low-profile W3501 is an internal quad-band PCB antenna for GSM use, covering the GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS and PCS bands.
It features a compact form factor of 25mm x 87mm x 0.2mm and weighs 1.35g.
Both antennas come with IPEX (U.FL compatible) cable assemblies with lengths of 100mm or 254mm for ease of implementation and are RoHS compliant.
Custom variations are available on request.
