Information transmission between electronic devices can be realised by wire or wirelessly. In the latter case, the most commonly used standards are WiFi and Bluetooth. To make use of them, an appropriate antenna is needed. Its parameters impact the range and connection quality. Both WiFi antennas and Bluetooth antennas operate within the 2.4GHz frequency band. Depending on the actual model, the former standard can also support the 5GHz band. The range of WiFi antennas reaches a few kilometers. On the other hand, a BT antenna allows for data transmission between devices up to 100m away – depending on the class. This component can be installed within an application – e.g. by using SMT mounting ܺ – or as a separate element, screwed, pushed, mounted with the use of magnets or in other ways. A characteristic feature of this antenna is its antenna gain, denoted in dBi.
Besides WiFi and Bluetooth antennas, this category of products contains components supporting GSM, GPS, or ZigBee transmission. The search engine allows you to filter products by frequency, antenna type, antenna gain, and other parameters. Mounting is an important information for any component. Equally important are outer dimensions, the length and type of cable used to connect an outer antenna, as well as the type of connector. In some cases, also operating temperature is worth paying attention to. TME’s offer includes BT and WiFi antennas from numerous manufacturers, such as: SR Passives, WALSIN or TE Connectivity.
