nSP250 nanoSplatch® Antennas

The nanoSplatch™ nSP250 is a surface-mount antenna for embedded WiFi/WLAN and other 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz ISM or U-NII frequency band applications. It uses a grounded-line technique to achieve outstanding performance in a tiny surface-mount package. The nSP250 exhibits low proximity effect with a very hemispherical radiation pattern, making it ideal for handheld devices and applications typically subject to interference.

 

The nSP250 is available in tape and reel packaging and is designed for reflow-solder mounting directly to a printed circuit board for high-volume applications.

WRT-MON Series Antennas

Expanding the popular and proprietary Linx WRT line, the dual-band monopole WiFi WRT antenna supports legacy 2.4 GHz WiFi and newer 5.8 GHz band applications, in a single, compact antenna. The monopole WiFi WRT antenna has a low profile and tamper resistant design that is perfect for challenging applications such wireless vending, security, traffic, and power equipment. Compared to the WRT Series, the WRT-MON Series requires much less space inside the product case because it lacks an internal counterpoise. Installing through a small hole in the enclosure the monopole WiFi WRT antenna has an integrated closed-cell PSA seal, protecting critical equipment from harsh, external elements. The monopole version of the WRT is optimized for applications with conductive enclosures, using the enclosure material as the counterpoise eliminates the need for an additional ground plane.

Available at 2.45 GHz and dual-band 2.45 GHz/5.8 GHz, it’s attached to an 8.5-inch (216mm) long cable with an SMA, FCC Part 15 compliant RP-SMA or U.FL/MHF compatible connector on the other end. The RP-SMA and SMA models use an RG174 cable. The U.FL model uses a 1.32mm cable.

Key Benefits:

  • Tamper-resistant: difficult to break
  • Compact: takes up less space inside the product than the WRT Series dipole
  • Secure: permanently attaches to the product case with a nut or threaded fastener
  • Customizable: custom colors, cables and connectors are available

The Monopole WiFI WRT Antenna is also available as a dipole which can be found here.
