## Wireless External Dual Band Antenna for 5.15 GHz and 5.85 GHz Applications _Pulse Part Number W1028B_ The W1028B is a classically designed antenna optimized for environments ranging from residential to commercial. It offers near dipolar radiation properties for wireless access points and devices on a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). Wireless networks, especially those located indoors, often have physical barriers which inhibit communication between wireless devices. These barriers cause blind spots, intermittent signal quality and interference. Selecting the correct external antenna can improve the range and reliability of wireless networks. The W1028B antenna offers an economical solution for OEMs of wireless devices. These antennas are best suited for IEEE 802.11a applications. ## **Features** - High frequency and high gain antenna - For WLAN devices using WiFi (802.11a) and ISM 5.8 GHz band - Omni directional radiation pattern provides broad 360° coverage - RoHS Compliant Product ## **Applications** - WLAN / WIFI Routers - Wireless Repeaters • 802.11a OEM replacements Electrical Specifications Environmental Specifications Frequency [MHz] 5150 - 5850 Operating Temperature [°C] -20 to +65 Nominal Impedance [ Ω ] 50 Storage Temperature [°C] -30 to +75 VSWR 2:1 Max Gain [dBi] 2 Radiation Pattern Omni Mechanical Specifications Polarization Linear Vertical Color Black ~~==~~ Connector SMA Male Reverse ~~SS~~ Overall Length [Inches/mm] 5.38 ± .12 / 136.8 ± 3 ~~oe~~ San Diego, CA 858 674 8100 Vancouver, WA 360 944 7551 Europe 49 7032 7806 0 Asia 86 755 33966678 North Asia 886 3 4356768 China 86 512 6807 9998 1 pulseelectronics.com/products/antennas L162.B (2/14) —tEE ## Wireless External Dual Band Antenna for 5.15 GHz and 5.85 GHz Applications _Pulse Part Number W1028B_ ## Radiation Patterns ## **Horizontal Plane** **==> picture [64 x 7] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Vertical Plane<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## Application Notes Omni-directional antennas provide a uniform, donutshaped, 360° radiation pattern. The omni-directional pattern is suitable for point-to-multipoint broadcasting in all directions. This antenna is primarily used for WLAN applications. However, it can also be used for a variety of other applications withing the spec ified frequency range. When used as an access point, the antenna is ideally located at the center of the coverage area. ## For More Information **Asia Headquarters Pulse North Asia Pulse (Suzhou) Wireless Products Co, Inc.** B402, Shenzhen Academy of 3F, No. 198, Zhongyuan Road 99 Huo Ju Road, (#29 Bldg, 4th Phase) Aerospace Technology Bldg.
