W5098
Overview
The W5098 from Pulse Electronics is a dual-band whip antenna designed for high-performance wireless connectivity in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It features a tilt-and-swivel hinge for optimal positioning and uses a Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) connector for standard industrial and consumer RF integration. The housing is constructed from flame-retardant TPEE material with a UL94-V0 rating, ensuring durability in various environments.
Why Choose This Part
The W5098 offers high gain performance with 2.5dBi at 2.4GHz and 4dBi at 5GHz, providing excellent signal propagation across multiple bands. Its tilt-and-swivel mechanical design allows for flexible orientation to maximize link budget. The UL94-V0 flammability rating and TPEE housing ensure the component meets strict safety and environmental requirements for commercial products.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To integrate this antenna, ensure your PCB has a mating RP-SMA female bulkhead connector or a U.FL-to-RP-SMA pigtail cable. Verify that the system impedance is 50 ohms and consider the physical clearance for the 150.4mm antenna length when tilted. No specific software or drivers are required as it is a passive radiator.
