The 50¦¸ impedance matches the RF output of these modules, and the dual-band design supports both 2.4GHz (802.11b\/g\/n) and 5.8GHz (802.11ac) protocols. Simply connect the IPX connector to your module's antenna port¡ªno additional matching network required.

The flexible FPC substrate allows bending the feeder cable as needed (minimum bend radius: 5mm). Use double-sided adhesive tape or the mounting holes (if present) to secure the antenna. For ABS\/PC enclosures ¡Ü3mm thick, expect \u0026lt;1dB signal loss. Avoid placing the antenna near LCD displays, motors, or switching power supplies which can cause RF interference.

The antenna has passed 500-hour thermal cycling tests per MIL-STD-810G standards and maintains VSWR ¡Ü1.5 across the full temperature range. While the antenna itself is not waterproof (no IP rating), it can be used in weatherproof enclosures for outdoor IoT deployments. The RoHS-compliant materials resist UV degradation and humidity.

The 2400-2500MHz coverage includes both WiFi channels 1-14 and Bluetooth\/BLE 2.4GHz band. However, note that WiFi and Bluetooth share the same 2.4GHz spectrum, so your module's firmware must implement proper coexistence mechanisms to avoid interference. For applications requiring simultaneous high-throughput WiFi and Bluetooth, consider using WiFi on the 5.8GHz band (if your module supports 802.11ac) to eliminate spectrum contention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 15px; background: #fafafa; border-left: 3px solid #0056b3; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; color: #111;\"\u003eQ: What is the expected wireless range with this 2.0 dBi antenna?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #666; margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eA: Wireless range depends on multiple factors including transmit power, receiver sensitivity, and environmental conditions. With a typical WiFi module (20 dBm TX power) and this 2.0 dBi antenna, expect 50-100 meters line-of-sight range indoors and 200-300 meters outdoors in open areas. The 2.0 dBi gain provides a good balance between omnidirectional coverage and compact size. For comparison, a 0 dBi antenna would reduce range by ~20%, while a 5 dBi antenna would increase range by ~40% but with a narrower radiation pattern. Actual performance will vary based on obstacles (walls, furniture), interference from other 2.4\/5.8GHz devices, and module sensitivity (-90 to -95 dBm typical for WiFi).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"cdsenet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44909191102566,"sku":"txwf-pcb-4008","price":0.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/9918\/9350\/files\/TXWF-PCB-4008-_1_800x800_v2.jpg?v=1773047337","url":"https:\/\/cdsenet.store\/products\/txwf-pcb-4008-dual-band-built-in-antenna","provider":"CDSENET, Built for the Wireless World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
