Dual-band MIMO embedded antenna

29 April 2009 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Laird Technologies has developed the new SM24513P3 dual-band MIMO internal antenna.

Specifically designed for the latest generation of wireless LAN (WLAN) technology systems, the embedded antenna makes use of MIMO technology in which multiple wireless transmitters and receivers operate simultaneously. This new ‘N’ generation of 802.11 provides much greater data throughput rates than the previous 802.11a/b/g standards.

Designed using proprietary RF optimisation tools, the SM24513P3 packs three high-performance antennas onto one PC board assembly for internal connection to a MIMO radio. Integration into a housing containing a MIMO radio is made easy by micro coax cables that are an integral part of the antenna assembly.

The size, gain and beam pattern of the antenna makes it suitable for indoor WLAN applications in either the 2,4–2,5 GHz or 5,1–5,9 GHz bands. This allows OEMs and systems integrators to offer a high-performance and cost-effective built-in MIMO antenna solution for many common WLAN applications, including hospitals, schools and campuses, transport terminals and other business enterprises.

Radiation patterns are uniform and symmetrical, providing high-level signal density into defined coverage zones, enhancing the performance of 802.11n systems. The antenna operates over a temperature range of -30° to +65°C and incorporates polarisation diversity to increase data throughput in multipath environments.
