PC140.07.0100A 2dBi 2.4GHz Circular Polarized Antenna

2019-12-11
The PC140 is an embedded lowest profile circularly polarized (RHCP) 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.
