Antenova launches compact antenna

Antenova, the Hatfield antenna specialist, has brought out a compact, dual-band antenna for the Wi-Fi 802.11n and AC 2.4GHz-2.5GHz and 4.9GHz-5.9 GHz bands, called Mutica.

The company describes Mutica as an SMD mounted antenna for all dual-band Wi-Fi applications, such as high speed data transfer and multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) applications, for example security cameras, video cameras, set-top-boxes and devices for connected vehicles.

Its specifications will also suit Wi-Fi access points, portable electronics, headsets, PC cards, games consoles, network devices and wearable electronics, according to Antenova.

“In 2014 2.4 billion Wi-Fi-enabled devices were shipped worldwide, and the industry surpassed 10 billion Wi-Fi devices cumulatively in early 2015,” says Antenova’s Colin Newman. “Over half of the products shipped are dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz, and the market is forecast to grow further over the next five years, making 802.11ac the prevailing WLAN standard. 5Ghz 802.11ac offers high definition video streaming with more channels and less interference than at 2.4GHz. This, coupled with the high efficiency of the Mutica antenna, will help to support faster data rates, fewer disconnects and better battery life in portable devices”.

Antenova calls its antenna “Design For Integration” (DFI). Because the antennas are always embedded within a customer’s product, Antenova designs them so that the RF elements can easily be added to the customer’s design, and so that the antenna will provide excellent performance when it is placed in position on the PCB.

The comapany offers advice on RF design and the integration of the antenna, along with engineering assistance and customer support, and provides the CAD footprint files of each antenna free of charge.

The Mutica antenna is the first in the new family of lamiiANT FR4 SMD antennas which Antenova announced earlier this year.

The antennas are supplied on tape and reel.
