FMSMA1002

Antennas RF Overview

The FMSMA1002 is a stamped metal RF antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for embedded applications in access points and routers. It operates within two frequency bands: 2400-2500 MHz and 5150-5825 MHz. The component provides a gain of 2 dBi at the lower band and features a maximum power rating of 1 W. It utilizes a solder termination method and has a maximum height of 0.330 inches (8.38 mm). The antenna supports wireless standards including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IoT, Zigbee, and ISM/M2M communications.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Stamped metal construction for compact embedded integration
• Dual-band operation supporting 2.4 GHz and 5.15-5.825 GHz frequencies
• Solder termination for secure PCB mounting

Antennas RF Applications

• Wi-Fi access points and routers
• Bluetooth devices
• IoT and M2M modules
• Zigbee networks
• ISM band equipment

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm mechanical dimensions and impedance characteristics prior to integration. Ensure that the soldering process parameters align with the thermal requirements of the stamped metal construction. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB layout for the solder termination interface. Cross-reference the frequency range against system specifications to validate performance across the 2400-2500 MHz and 5150-5825 MHz bands.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a low-profile, dual-band solution for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless protocols. The 2 dBi gain is suitable for standard indoor coverage scenarios. Consider the 1 W maximum power rating when designing the RF front-end. The solder termination requires compatible PCB pads. Evaluate the 8.38 mm height constraint against enclosure design limitations.
