Overview
Wi-Fi/GPS applications are getting smaller, and this in turn drives the need for smaller but higher performance antennas covering the full GNSS band (1.561 to 5.85 GHz). Molex’s highly compact 2.4/5 GHz Combo GPS/Wi-Fi Ceramic Antenna is designed to be a cost-competitive solution covering the full GNSS band.
Advanced Wi-Fi applications (e.g., real-time management of remote access control, lockdown or change management of personnel credential access) over long distances in large campus facilities need robust antennas to support high barrier penetration and reliable connectivity. Molex’s Triple-Band Ceramic Antennas with Wi-Fi HaLow compatibility are interference-resistant and excellent for barrier-penetration, supporting larger but lower (900 MHz) frequency ranges than 2.4/5 GHz connections. They also operate with lower power over longer ranges than 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi and enable multiple device support.
Wireless communication developers are not prepared to incur additional costs to mitigate ground-plane effects. They want antennas that can be integrated immediately. Molex GPS/Wi-Fi Combo Balanced PCB and Flexible Antennas are dipole style with a balanced-transmission design that eliminates the need to mitigate PCB ground effects.
