WLAN Antenna Solutions

Pulse/Larsen WLAN Antenna Offering

Pulse/Larsen offers WLAN antenna solutions for IEEE802.11 (a, b, g, n) providing single and multiple frequency solutions for 2.4, 4.9, 5 and 5.8 GHz. Antennas optimized for MIMO applications are also a feature of the Pulse range and technical capabilities. WLAN functionality is now offered as an extra frequency in many of the Pulse 3G or 4G solutions. Applications include routers, mini base stations, MESH networks, laptops, Netbooks and other consumer devices.

Pulse provides a full custom design service, including specialized testing, in addition to a range of standard catalog WLAN products. Also available is a build-to-print full turnkey subcontract manufacture service for customers with their own design.

Internal Solutions

When a customer chooses to integrate an antenna inside a product, the antenna choice immediately becomes more complex. The performance of the antenna can no longer be measured as an isolated component because the product packaging and antenna location inside affect the end performance. Pulse is committed to partnership for internal antenna designs to find optimal solutions. Together we test mechanical construction and identify the correct antenna platform, location and mechanical structure for the best performance. Several key antenna types are discussed below.

Ceramic Antennas

Ceramic Antennas provide a very compact design where space is limited. They are an excellent choice in multi antenna systems where Isolation is a critical parameter. MIMO and Diversity applications are particularly successful using this type of antenna.

Custom Internal Solutions

Sheet Metal Antennas

Sheet Metal is normally the lowest cost antenna form. Generally a certain amount of height is required, so these platforms are not the lowest profile antenna. The design needs to be fairly simple with straight edges making it is less suitable for complex mechanical structures.

Sheet Metal/Flex Radiator and Plastic Carrier Antennas

Mounding a sheet metal or flex radiator onto a plastic carrier can give a reliable and repeatable structure for volume production. Clips or mounts can be fixed into the plastic to fit the appropriate mechanical construction type, giving the option for integrating other functions such as speakers or microphones into the plastic carrier.

LDS Technology

Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) is the process by which the radiating element is lasered directly onto a plastic element. It is ideal for applications with very restricted space and complex mechanical structures. Pulse is currently supplying solutions using this technology in volume and can offer significant expertise in this area.
