WLAN, Bluetooth tunable, embedded antenna features pads for easy frequency tuning

Stocked by Digi-Key, Ethertronics' 1001932FT/PT family of antennas is the first antenna of its kind offering RF tuning pads directly on the FPC, enabling easy tuning of the antenna. This single antenna can be adapted to various loading scenarios and offers the flexibility needed to optimise the wireless performances in the design stage. Once the best tuning is defined, Ethertronics can supply mass-production-ready parts where the solder bridges are directly integrated inside the PCB, which provide the user with a solution combining all the advantages of a custom and off-the-shelf antenna. The antennas come in FPC or FR4 version and are designed to address all Wi-Fi connectivity needs requiring a high-performance, omnidirectional, embedded antenna solution for both 3.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It uses a robust 3M adhesive tape underneath, further easing its integration on various housings, and a U.FL/MHF4 compatible cable assembly, enabling it to fit in most devices. Different cable lengths or connectors are also available upon request.
