Molex WiFi-Ready MID Chip & Ceramic SMT Antennas
Molex WiFi®-Ready MID Chip and Ceramic SMT Antennas are small, on-ground MID (Molded Interconnect Device) antennas with the power and precision of Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) technology. Measuring as small as 3mm x 3mm x 4mm and mated on one side of the PCB, the antennas enable designers to realize significant PCB real estate savings by leaving the ground layers in the PCB intact while freeing up space on the reverse side for other component assemblies. Featuring an omni-directional radiation pattern, these monopole antennas require simple stripline matching on the PCB without the need for discrete components.
Fully compatible with SMD and reflow processes, the WiFi-Ready MID Chip and Ceramic SMT Antennas can be used as a stand-alone device without the need for cable connection. In addition to offering excellent thermal properties, the LCP body of the antenna provides a higher mechanical strain tolerance than ceramic antennas. Weighing 0.03g, the antennas are ideally suited for portable electronic devices based on Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi, ZIGBEE® and other wireless standards such as tablet PCs, headsets, smart meters, and more.
