Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct packaging and variant selection. Confirm that the requested part matches the exact electrical specifications required for your design, particularly regarding impedance and frequency range. Check for any recent updates to the component's compliance status or mechanical tolerances before finalizing procurement orders.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, surface-mount antenna is required for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications. Ensure the host PCB layout accommodates the 1.6 x 0.8 mm footprint and provides adequate ground plane clearance as specified in the reference design. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for environmental suitability in the target application.
