Mini antennaMini antenna

The DAC series miniature dielectric antenna element is for 2.4-GHz wireless LAN systems. The flat-type antenna provides:

- Vertical polarization reception

- Low profile (6-mm max)

- Omni-directional in azimuth

- Low-interference design

- Central feeding point terminal

- Wide bandwidth

- Light weight

A layer of conductive film on the wall of the substrate's though hole connects the radiation electrode on the substrate's top surface with the ground electrode on the bottom. A conductive pin abutting the electrode's 50V impedance matching point feeds the inner conductor of a coaxial cable, while the ground electrode connects to the outer coaxial-cable conductor.
