The embedded on-board patch antennas have small, low-profile form factors and high efficiency and gain. The range is RoHS compliant and available with multiple feed points, optional cable connections, and adhesive and through-hole solder pin mounting options. Ideal applications include wireless electronics spanning IoT devices, tracking systems, telematics, on-board diagnostics, connected vehicles, and machine-to-machine communications.
The variety of standard antenna offerings helps engineers reduce design costs and hasten time-to-market by eliminating the additional design fees and extended cycle times associated with custom solutions. Patch antennas offer circular polarization, providing optimal performance for roof-top applications or applications where the antenna is facing the sky. “AVX’s Ethertronics range of embedded on-board patch antennas provides OEMs with exceptional performance, efficiency, and reliability in small, low-profile form factors” said Alexander Hall, field applications engineer, AVX.
