AVX Releases W Series Embedded Wi-Fi Antennas
W series embedded Wi-Fi antennas offer range of standard solutions with ultraminiature form factors, PCB or FPC antenna technologies capable of supporting single- and dual-band operating frequencies up to 6GHz, performance-enhancing foam coatings, and various mounting options.
Options include support for 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz frequency bands, integrated foam coatings on component backsides to minimize antenna detuning on various surfaces, several mounting adhesives, and various cable lengths, diameters, colors, and connectors. Applications include wireless gateways, access points, routers, WLANs, smart home systems, industrial machine-to-machine communications, digital signage, other cross-market devices and equipment that employ Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee communications protocols. W1, W2, and W3 all weigh 0.3g, measure 0.4mm in height, support three PCB/FPC thicknesses (0.1mm, 0.4mm, and 0.8mm), exhibit 50Ω unbalanced feed-point impedance, and comply with latest RoHS directives. Are available with FPC or PCB antenna technologies, three tuning options (tuning on plastic wall, tuning for foam on plastic wall, and tuning with ribs), three adhesive mounting options for compatibility with FPC, PCB, or PCB+ foam materials, three standard cable lengths (50mm, 100mm, and 150mm) and diameters (0.81mm, 1.13mm, and 1.37mm) with black or gray cable jackets, and three standard connector options: U.FL, W.FL, or MHF4 connectors in down, up, left, or right orientations with respect to PCB silkscreen printing. Are also available without adhesive, without connectors, and with optional ferrite bead. Can be used in agricultural, commercial, consumer, computing, industrial, medical, and telecommunications markets.
