L-com’s new stamped metal antennas

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

To meet a wide variety of frequency-band needs, they cover frequencies from 1800 to 7125 MHz and are offered with single or dual bands. Options with the single-band models are 1800-1900 MHz, 1880-1900 MHz, 2400-2500 MHz, 5150-5825 MHz, and 5900-7125 MHz. Options with the dual-band models are 2400-2500 and 4900-5825 MHz, 2400-2500 and 5150-5825 MHz, and 2412-2484 and 5150-5825 MHz.

At an ultra-compact 1 to 2 inches long, L-com’s new stamped metal antennas are easy to integrate in small routers and access points, and they feature case mounting or on-board mounting. Some models have an IPEX connector and cable. They are rugged as well, with a stamped metal construction and a wide operating temperature range of -40° to +185° F (-40° to +85° C).

L-com’s stamped metal antennas are suited for myriad uses. These include IoT, M2M, telemetry, wireless remote control, PANs, industrial/commercial equipment, 2.4 GHz 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.”
