Description

• Extremely Compact—62.3 mm ±1.5 mm
• Aesthetic look and feel
• Unique design can rotate 360 degrees and articulate through 180 degrees
• Max peak gain compliant with most Wi-FI modules
• Standard RP-SMA(M) connector
• ROHS compliant

The GW.05 dual-band Wi-Fi Hinged Rotatable Antenna is a high-efficiency monopole antenna. Compared to other much larger antennas on the market, it has superior wide-band high efficiency characteristics. The bright green color of the antenna adds a unique quality look and feel to any modern Wi-Fi application point, device, or router. It also provides differentiation if using Taoglas other similar-looking antennas (such as the black color Taoglas TG.09 cellular antenna) on the same device. The connector used is Rev SMA(M), the standard mating part for an antenna to most Wi-Fi application points and routers in the market.

The GW.05, like all monopole antennas, works best connected directly to the ground plane of the device’s main PCB or to the outside of a metal housing. However it still has excellent performance (>50%) even without connecting to a ground-plane, making it the best all-around small Wi-Fi terminal antenna on the market.

In the un-grounded installation condition, it also comes below the max peak gain requirements for most Wi-Fi modules which are usually 2 dBi, so it can comply with FCC regulations.

The GW.05 is for Wi-Fi, WLAN, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and 802.11a/b/g/n/ac applications.
