Compact stamped metal antennas in a wide variety of frequencies

L-com has released a new line of stamped metal antennas. These AP/router-embedded antennas deliver performance, ultra-compactness and ruggedness.

The new omnidirectional stamped metal antennas supply uniform coverage in all directions with isotropic radiation patterns. The signals are optimised with linear polarisation and provide a typical gain of up to 5.1dBi and a maximum gain of up to 6.52dBi. They feature frequency stabilisation and have a maximum input VSWR of 2:1.

They cover frequencies from 1800MHz to 7125MHz and are supplied with single or dual bands to meet various frequency-band necessities. Options with the single-band models are 1800-1900MHz, 1880-1900MHz, 2400-2500MHz, 5150-5825MHz, and 5900-7125MHz. Options with the dual-band models are 2400-2500MHz and 4900-5825MHz, 2400-2500MHz and 5150-5825MHz, and 2412-2484MHz and 5150-5825MHz.

At an ultra-compact one to two inches long, these new stamped metal antennas are straightforward to integrate into small routers and access points, and they offer case mounting or onboard mounting. Some models have an IPEX connector and cable. They are rugged, too, with a stamped metal construction and a wide operating temperature range of -40F to +185F (-40C to +85C).

These stamped metal antennas are ideal for numerous uses. These include IoT, M2M, telemetry, wireless remote control, PANs, industrial/commercial equipment, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi/BT/BLE/Zigbee/ISM applications, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n embedded applications, remote technology monitoring, consumer tracking, smart home wearables and devices, agriculture, healthcare, and digital signage.

“You can’t beat the combination of performance, compactness and ruggedness of L-com’s new stamped metal antennas,” said senior product line manager Kevin Hietpas. “At their ultra-compact size, they are easy to integrate in small routers and access points.”
