OMNIDIRECTIONAL PANEL ANTENNAS

Laird Technologies’ WLAN omnidirectional panel antennas are available in frequency ranges of 2400-2500 MHz and 4900-5850 MHz. There are also a number of dual-band antennas availalbe. Many models of these antennas are designed primarily for indoor applications and are mounted to the ceiling. There are also more rugged models available for vehicular mounting and outdoor applications.

Mounting styles include flush mount antennas and grid mount antennas. Flush mount antennas mount directly to a surface such as a finished ceiling or a vehicle. Grid mount antennas have integrated spring clips for mounting to the grid bars of a drop ceiling. The ceiling mount antennas provide a low profile for minimum visual impact.

The omnidirectional coverage patterns include a standard omni pattern and “squint” pattern. The “squint” pattern provides an electrical 45-degree vertical down tilt that is ideal for such applications as wireless telephone booths, industrial complexes, office environments, shopping malls, parking garages, airports, hospitals and campus

settings.

A variety of coax lengths and connector types are available. The coax used for ceiling mount antennas is plenum rated. Antennas with bulkhead connectors are also available. Input impedance is 50 ohms. Operating temperature is -40 to +65 degrees C.

2.4 GHz 3.5 dBi Omnidirectional Ceiling Mount Antenna

The 4”x 4”x 1” indoor Mini-Squint provides 3.5 dBi gain and antenna can be mounted to ceiling tiles or to I-beams using an added hardware kit.
