Overview

The W3713 is a compact surface-mount PCB trace antenna designed for high-frequency applications in the 4.9GHz to 6GHz range. It offers a peak gain of 4.5dBi and a low-profile 2.40mm height, making it an efficient radiator for devices requiring 5GHz WiFi, ISM, or DSRC connectivity.

Why Choose This Part

The PCB trace design provides high performance with a 1.1GHz bandwidth and 4.5dBi gain while maintaining a small footprint of 10.5mm by 3.2mm. Its surface-mount solder termination allows for automated pick-and-place assembly, reducing manufacturing costs for high-volume portable electronics.

Applications

Dual-Band WiFi Systems
Integrated into tablets and notebooks to provide reliable 5GHz wireless networking.
DSRC Vehicle Communication
Utilized in transportation and security systems operating at 5.925GHz for V2X safety applications.
Industrial IoT Gateways
Acts as the primary antenna for M2M communication in high-density frequency environments.
