PC140.07.0100A 2dBi 2.4GHz Circular Polarized Antenna
working at the 2.4GHz band for mobile Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ISM applications
where the orientation to the other device may be unknown. Use of a circularly
polarized antenna will enable a more stable and reliable link when the
orientation and the direction of the antenna to the communicating device is
constantly changing.
Typical applications would be
- Autonomous Vehicles
- UAV’s
- Robotics
The PC140 antenna is made from FR4 with 57*57*0.97mm (with double sided
adhesive), and comes standard with a 100mm 1.13 coaxial cable and IPEX
connector for easy installation. The double-sided 3M adhesive allows for easy
peel and stick mounting, attaching securely to non-metal surfaces. The PC140
is designed for applications at 2.4GHz that require circular polarization and low
cost.
This antenna has superior axial ratio between 3.2 and 3.75 in the 2.4GHz band.
This is proof of it’s strengthened circular polarization.
With a peak gain of 2dBi, the PC140 antenna has a typical efficiency of more
than 60% across WI-FI bands and is designed to be mounted directly onto a
plastic or glass cover. It is an ideal choice for any device maker that desires
ease of integration and needs to keep manufacturing costs down over the
lifetime of a product. Cable and connector can be customized, contact your
regional Taoglas sales office for support.
Many module manufacturers specify peak gain limits for any antennas that are
to be connected to that module. Those peak gain limits are based on free-space
conditions. In practice, the peak gain of an antenna tested in free-space can
degrade by at least 1 or 2 dBi when put inside a device. So ideally you should
go for a slightly higher peak gain antenna than mentioned on the module
specification to compensate for this effect, giving you better performance.
Upon testing of any of our antennas with your device and a selection of
appropriate layout, integration technique, or cable, Taoglas can make sure any
of our antennas' peak gain will be below the peak gain limits. Taoglas can then
issue a specification and/or report for the selected antenna in your device that
will clearly show it complying with the peak gain limits, so you can be assured
you are meeting regulatory requirements for that module.
For example, a module manufacturer may state that the antenna must have
less than 2 dBi peak gain, but you don't need to select an embedded antenna
that has a peak gain of less than 2 dBi in free-space. This will give you a less
optimized solution. It is better to go for a slightly higher free-space peak gain
of 3 dBi or more if available. Once that antenna gets integrated into your device,
performance will degrade below this 2 dBi peak gain due to the effects of GND
plane, surrounding components, and device housing. If you want to be
absolutely sure, contact Taoglas and we will test. Choosing a Taoglas antenna
with a higher peak gain than what is specified by the module manufacturer and
enlisting our help will ensure you are getting the best performance possible
without exceeding the peak gain limits.
