Laird Connectivity FlexPIFA 2 dBi and FlexPIFA 3 dBi antennas

Laird Connectivity has released the FlexPIFA 2 dBi and FlexPIFA 3 dBi antennas with MHF1/U.FL cables. The flexible planar inverted-F antennas (PIFA) are designed for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth applications mounting on non-conductive or irregular surfaces, regardless of humidity or hot/cold cycles (-40 to +85°C).

The antennas are designed to improve performance across a broad array of environments, enclosures or even body-worn applications. The 2 dBi FlexPIFA antenna is an ultrasmall (40.1 x 11 x 2.5 mm), single-band (2.4 GHz) device offering 2 dBi peak gain, linear polarisation and 50Ω impedance, suitable for Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth applications.

The 3 dBi FlexPIFA antenna features dual-band (2.4/5.5 GHz) performance in a 38.5 x 12.7 x 2.5 mm form factor, with 3 dBi peak gain and 50Ω impedance. The antenna is also suitable for Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth applications, as well as legacy Wi-Fi 802.11a applications.

The FlexPIFA family of antennas delivers robust performance and easy installation, making them useful for challenging Internet of Things (IoT) and harsh environment design applications.
