Datasheet

## **Series: Stick Antenna** 

## TECHNICAL DATA SHEET **Description** : Wireless External Antenna for 2.4 GHz Applications 

**PART NUMBER: W1038x** 

## **Features:** 

- High gain performance, 3.8dBi 

- For WLAN devices using WiFi (802.11b/g), Bluetooth® and ZigBeeTM 

- Omni-directional radiation pattern provides broad 360° coverage 

- One-quarter wavelength dipole configuration, length 197.1mm 

- Connection and color options easily integrate with OEM designs 

- **W1038** Black ； **W1038W** White ； **W1038G** Gray 

## **Applications:** 

- Omni-directional antennas provide a uniform, donut-shaped, 360° radiation pattern. The omni-directional pattern is suitable for point-to-multipoint broadcasting in all directions. The antenna is primarily used for WLAN applications. However, it can also be used for a variety of other applications within the  specified frequency range. When used as an access point, the antenna is ideally located at the center of the coverage
