Mouser now offers the FlexMIMO dual-band MIMO antenna from Laird, claimed to be the industry’s first flexible PIFA antenna for 802.11 Wi-Fi MIMO applications. The FlexMIMO comprises two integrated 2.4/5GHz dual-band antenna elements particularly designed for MIMO applications, such as medical devices, automated equipment, and IoT devices.
The antenna is based on a PIFA structure, composed of two mylar antenna elements with a foam core, producing a low-profile, flexible antenna. The company's patented, flexible PIFA antenna structure provides for the use of the antenna on flat and curved surfaces, giving greater flexibility in design and great antenna gain and performance.
The antenna has low ECC performance, allowing best-in-class throughput and range performance. Creators can pair the antenna with the company's 60 Series Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules, which offer hardware designed for 802.11ac, 2x2 MU-MIMO, Bluetooth 4.2, and Bluetooth 5 on one low-power device.
