Introducing standardised antennas to general market
Molex Incorporated has released a new standard antenna for applications using the 2.4 GHz ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) band and WiFi.
The 2.4 GHz band antenna is the first release in a series of Molex standard antennas designed for the industrial, consumer, medical and automotive markets. Based on advanced manufacturing and RF technologies, Molex standard antennas offer high performance and ease of integration for demanding wireless applications.
"Markets are trending towards wireless applications. On the industrial side, global smart grid deployments are leading in M2M (machine-to-machine) wireless communication. In consumer markets, wireless Internet television and audio dominate. For these applications many wireless devices are better served with a standard antenna rather than a customised one. Molex standard 2.4 GHz ISM antennas deliver superior performance for less cost and risk, and shortened lead times bringing wireless products to market," explains Mads Sager, technology manager, Molex.
The 2.4 GHz band antenna is based on the market-leading Molex LDS (Laser Direct Structuring) technology. Using a 3D laser system, LDS technology allows the transfer of the antenna from CAD data directly onto a moulded antenna carrier or even directly onto the device structure.
"LDS antennas surpass the physical limits of conventional antennas and allow customers to achieve a higher level of product integration with fewer components at a value-oriented price point. Molex is the LDS antenna market leader with over 150 million shipped to date," adds Sager.
