Key Specifications
Getting Started
When integrating this antenna, ensure the PCB layout follows the manufacturer's recommended ground plane clearances to achieve the rated 4dBi gain. Engineers should perform impedance matching with a network analyzer to tune the VSWR for the specific enclosure material and board stack-up. Solid solder fillets are required for the surface-mount pads to ensure mechanical stability and RF performance.
