Ethertronics Patch Antenna from AVX Corporation

AVX Corporation has extended its portfolio of high-performance, high-efficiency antennas that are designed to satisfy the demand of connectivity and miniaturization requirements in wireless applications in the automotive, industrial, networking, medical, consumer electronics, energy, and transportation industries.

The Ethertronics’ embedded onboard patch antennas have small, low-profile form factors, this reduces the ground plane and keeps out the area size requirements to achieve better design flexibility and higher efficiency, gain and directivity characteristics from 1.5-2.4GHZ for reliable connectivity with better return loss and minimal interference.

The Extension of the antennas portfolio includes:

All these options in standard antenna offerings allow the engineers to reduce design costs and hasten time-to-market by eliminating the additional design fees and extended cycle times associated with custom solutions.

The new antennas are ideal for applications include wireless electronics spanning wearables, IoT devices, gateways, and access points to point-of-sale terminals, tracking systems, telematics, digital signage, on-board diagnostics, connected vehicles, and machine-to-machine communications.

Features of new Ethertronics Patch Antennas
