1. Introduction

The FXP.830 has a peak gain of 1.8dBi at 2.4GHz and efficiencies of 50%, and

3-4dBi and 80-90% at 5.8GHz.

The FXP830 is a high efficiency, small, dual-band, dipole antenna for 2.4/5.8GHz

band including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This Taoglas patent pending antenna is

unique in the market because it is made from poly-flexible material, has a tiny

form factor (42*7*.01mm) and has double-sided 3M tape for easy “peel and

stick” mounting.

The FXP.830 is the ideal all-round antenna solution for squeezing into narrow

spaces and still maintaining high performance, for example at the top of LCD

devices.

Many module manufacturers specify peak gain limits for any antennas that are to

be connected to that module. Those peak gain limits are based on free-space

conditions. In practice, the peak gain of an antenna tested in free-space can

degrade by at least 1 or 2dBi when put inside a device. So ideally you should go

for a slightly higher peak gain antenna than mentioned on the module

specification to compensate for this effect, giving you better performance.

Upon testing of any of our antennas with your device and a selection of

appropriate layout, integration technique, or cable, Taoglas can make sure any of

our antennas’ peak gain will be below the peak gain limits. Taoglas can then issue

a specification and/or report for the selected antenna in your device that will

clearly show it complying with the peak gain limits, so you can be assured you are

meeting regulatory requirements for that module.
