FXP832030458D Datasheet, PDF (2/16 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – FXP832 Freedom Wi-Fi 2.4GHz and 4.9-6GHz Dipole Antenna

1. Introduction
FXP832 is a breakthrough, very high efficiency, small, dual-band dipole
omni-directional antenna for 2.4/5 GHz bands. This antenna is designed for DSRC, V2V,
WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and other applications in these bands. It is designed in such a
narrow rectangular form factor to cover most of the current applications on the market.
Taoglas FXP series are conformal flexible antennas and can fit irregular housings.
With dimensions of 42*7*.01mm it comes with double-sided 3M tape for easy “peel and
stick” mounting. This longer cable length version of the FXP832 is ideal for applications
in embedded industrial and automotive environments.
Like all embedded omni-directional antennas, care should be taken to keep the antenna
away from metal as much as possible, a minimum of 10mm is recommended.
Many module manufacturers specify peak gain limits for any antennas that are to be
connected to that module. Those peak gain limits are based on free-space conditions.
In practice, the peak gain of an antenna tested in free-space can degrade by at least 1
or 2dBi when put inside a device. So ideally you should go for a slightly higher peak gain
antenna than mentioned on the module specification to compensate for this effect,
giving you better performance.
Upon testing of any of our antennas with your device and a selection of appropriate
layout, integration technique, or cable, Taoglas can make sure any of our antennas’
peak gain will be below the peak gain limits. Taoglas can then issue a specification
and/or report for the selected antenna in your device that will clearly show it complying
with the peak gain limits, so you can be assured you are meeting regulatory
requirements for that module.
For example, a module manufacturer may state that the antenna must have less than
