Linx Technologies (Linx), now part of TE Connectivity, has introduced two stamped metal antennas exhibiting high performance in a compact size. The new antennas - ANT-2.4-MSA-TH1 and ANT-W63-MSA-TH1 - are especially well-suited for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart home networking, sensing and remote monitoring, and hand-held devices.
Key Features of ANT-2.4-MSA-TH1
- Performance at 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz
- VSWR: ≤ 1.3
- Peak Gain: 3.7 dBi
- Efficiency: 87%
- Compact, low-profile
- 16.7 mm x 5.8 mm x 5.4 mm
- Omnidirectional radiation pattern
- Reflow- or hand-solder assembly
Key Features of ANT-W63-MSA-TH1
- Performance at 5.150 GHz to 5.895 GHz
- VSWR: ≤ 1.9
- Peak Gain: 3.8 dBi
- Efficiency: 61%
- Performance at 5.950 GHz to 7.125 GHz
- VSWR: ≤ 3.2
- Peak Gain: 3.8 dBi
- Efficiency: 55%
- Compact, low-profile
- 15.0 mm x 17.2 mm x 9.8 mm
- Omnidirectional radiation pattern
- Reflow- or hand-solder assembly
The ANT-2.4-MSA-TH1 is designed for 2.4 GHz ISM applications including Bluetooth and Zigbee, as well as single-band Wi-Fi. The ANT-W63-MSA-TH1 is designed for Wi-Fi 6/Wi-Fi 6E applications in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. The antennas are packaged in trays and designed for through-hole mounting directly to a printed circuit board.
