W3715
Overview
The W3715 by Pulse Electronics is a high-performance, dual-band WiFi SMT antenna designed for 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless communications. This PCB trace antenna offers a compact surface-mount footprint (11mm x 7mm x 16mm) and provides reliable gain across common ISM and WiFi frequency bands. It is engineered for integration into high-density wireless devices requiring robust connectivity in a small form factor.
Why Choose This Part
The W3715 features impressive peak gains of 3.7dBi at 2.4GHz and 5.5dBi at 5.425GHz, ensuring excellent range and signal penetration. Its surface-mount design allows for automated pick-and-place assembly, reducing manufacturing costs and improving consistency compared to cabled antennas. The dual-band coverage simplifies inventory by allowing a single component to serve multiple wireless protocols.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When integrating the W3715, ensure strict adherence to the manufacturer's recommended ground plane dimensions and keep-out areas to maintain specified gain and VSWR. Use high-frequency substrate materials for the PCB and implement a 50-ohm microstrip feedline for optimal impedance matching. Pulse Electronics provides detailed layout guidelines to minimize signal loss and interference from nearby metallic components.
