Molex Ultra Wideband PCB Antennas

Molex Ultra Wideband (UWB) PCB Antennas feature a wide selection of micro-coaxial cable lengths from 50mm to 300mm that extends connectivity for maximum design flexibility. The UWB PCB antennas support double-sided adhesive tape on the antenna that enables easy peel-and-stick mounting anywhere within the device casing. UWB PCB antennas can operate at a temperature ranging from -30°C to +85°C. These UWB PCB antennas offer high radiation efficiency with values of 70% from 3GHz to 6GHz. Typical applications include automotive, medical, Consumer Electronics (CE), and industrial.
