| Key Advantages |
Single band and dual band. High operating efficiency | Small clearance zone; high RF performance; dual-band; halogen-free |
Miniature in size but big in RF performance |
Miniature and identical in size with series 47948 |
High efficiency over 75% on 2.4 to 2.5GHz and 5.15 to 5.85GHz |
|||||||
| Symmetrical radiator design offers significant design flexibility by allowing reversed lateral placement on the PCB without affecting radiation pattern or performance |
Laser Direct Structuring (LDS)-formed circuitry yields high, consistent RF performance, leveraging the excellent laser structuring precision, speed, accuracy and repeatability of LDS technology |
Environmentally sustainable halogen-free LDS-MID housing withstands high reflow temperatures during assembly processing |
