Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct variant matches the design requirements, as the base series includes multiple configurations. Confirm that the SMD/SMT termination style aligns with the assembly process. Check RoHS compliance status and MSL level for handling precautions during manufacturing. Ensure the 1 W power rating and 50 Ohm impedance are compatible with the system architecture before finalizing procurement.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-band solution is required for 2.4 GHz applications. The 3216 package size offers space efficiency for dense PCB layouts. Consider the 1.69 dBi gain and 230 MHz bandwidth for standard range communications. Verify thermal performance requirements against the -40°C to +105°C operating range. This antenna is suitable for passive applications where linear polarization is acceptable.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the ANT3216 series of chip antennas from Pulse Electronics. The series provides various options for different frequency bands and gain levels. While other variants like the LL series offer higher gain or different frequencies, the A063 variant is specifically tuned for the 2.4 GHz band with moderate gain. It serves as a foundational component for compact wireless transceivers.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series may include other ANT3216 variants with matching 2.4 GHz specifications. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility (3.05 x 1.55 x 0.55 mm) and electrical parameters such as impedance and gain. Cross-reference datasheets for any differences in radiation patterns or mounting requirements.
