Abracon WiFi Antenna with SMA Connector, ZigBee, WiFi, Bluetooth (BLE), Internal, Surface Mount, 2.4dBi Gain PRO-OB-536

Abracon PRO-OB-536 WiFi Antenna with SMA Connector is a high-quality internal antenna designed for ZigBee, WiFi, and Bluetooth (BLE) applications. Operating over a wide frequency range from 2400 MHz to 5850 MHz, it delivers reliable wireless connectivity with an omni-directional radiation pattern and 2.4 dBi gain, making it suitable for diverse environments including industrial IoT, commercial wireless networks, and embedded system designs.

The antenna uses Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) technology and requires mounting on a proper ground plane for optimal performance. When used with multi-layer PCBs, implementing vias for robust ground connections is recommended to avoid ground plane splits, which could compromise antenna efficiency. It also features a surface mount type and a 2.5 mm cable length to accommodate compact device footprints without sacrificing signal integrity.

This antenna complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and 2015/863 as well as RoHS and RoHS II standards, confirming its environmentally compliant design. It supports two bands with mixed linear polarization and provides a peak gain of 2.7 dBi and efficiency greater than 44%.

Applications include industrial automation requiring robust wireless connectivity, IoT sensor networks using ZigBee or Bluetooth protocols, and WiFi-enabled devices requiring compact and efficient antenna solutions. The PRO-OB-536 antenna ensures stable performance in constrained environments while maintaining compliance with industry standards.

Recommended design considerations include the use of a matching network to optimize antenna impedance specific to your application. The antenna's components can be positioned below the antenna area on the PCB for enhanced integration flexibility.

Abracon also offers an Evaluation Kit RS 243-2671 PRO-EB-550 specifically for this antenna model to facilitate testing and deployment. Features a surface mount design with an SMA connector for reliable installation. Offers an omni-directional directivity with 2.4 dBi antenna gain.
