Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix required for your packaging preference, such as tape and reel or cut tape options, when placing orders. Confirm that the 5.45 GHz center frequency aligns with your target ISM band regulations. Ensure your PCB layout accommodates the 10.5 mm x 3.2 mm footprint and the 2.40 mm maximum height constraint. Check for RoHS3 compliance requirements if applicable to your manufacturing standards.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this antenna when space constraints require a low-profile SMD solution operating above 4 GHz. The 4.5 dBi gain offers a balance between size and performance for short-range communications. Consider the 50-ohm impedance match for standard RF front-end designs. Evaluate the 5 W power rating against your transmitter output capabilities to ensure safe operation within the specified thermal limits.

Antennas RF Part Context

The W3714 belongs to Pulse Electronics' embedded antenna portfolio, utilizing ceramic technology to enable small form factors without compromising performance. This series targets the growing demand for miniaturized wireless components in consumer and industrial sectors. It serves as a specialized RF solution for frequencies exceeding 4 GHz, distinguishing it from lower-frequency general-purpose antennas.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Engineers should verify electrical compatibility, specifically the 5.45 GHz center frequency and 4.5 dBi gain, when evaluating alternative vendors. Physical footprint matching is critical due to the specific 10.5 mm x 3.2 mm dimensions.
