Thin dual-band flexible circuit antennas
Two of the antennas, named Dromus and Amoris are high performance dual band Wi-Fi antennas operating on the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz and 4.9 to 5.9 GHz wireless bands, including Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/j/n/ac. They are suitable for access points, portable electronics, PC cards, games consoles, set-top boxes, network devices, and wearable technology.
They are made to different dimensions, so that electronics manufacturers can select the best fit and performance for their wireless device. The third antenna, named Montana operates in the ISM bands of 863 to 870 MHz and 902 to 928 MHz. This antenna is for use in industry, remote sensors, smart metering, medical devices, monitoring equipment, lighting, security and automotive applications.
The flexible FPC antennas are each just 0.15-mm thick, and are supplied with a peel-back self-adhesive area to fix them inside a small electronic device, in various configurations. They are supplied complete with a cable and a connector to attach them to the underside covering or housing of a manufacturer’s electronic product. Each antenna weighs less than 0.5g.
The three antennas can be popped into the IPEX MHF (UFL) mating connector on a host PCB or wireless module, and are effectively “plug and play”.
