Product Brief ANT-W63-FPC-UFL-100 Flexible Embedded WiFi 6 Antenna The Linx W63-FPC antenna is a flexible embedded multiband antenna offering excellent performance for WiFi 6E applications in the 6 GHz band (5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz) plus 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi/WLAN for WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 solutions. The W63-FPC provides a ground plane independent dipole embedded antenna solution comparable in performance to an external antenna. The flexibility and adhesive backing makes the W63-FPC antenna easy to mount in unique and custom enclosures, while enabling an environmentally sealed enclosure and protection from tampering or accidental antenna damage. Connection is made to the radio via a 100 mm (3.94 in) long, 1.13 mm coaxial cable terminated in an MHF1/U.FL-compatible plug connector.

Range -40 C to +85 C VSWR Figure 1 provides the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across the antenna bandwidth. VSWR describes the power reflected from the antenna back to the radio. A lower VSWR value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency. Reflected power is also shown on the right-side vertical axis as a gauge of the percentage of transmitter power reflected back from the antenna. 5 40 4 30 3 20 2 10 1 0 2400 2700 3000 3300 3600 3900 4200 4500 4800 5100 5400 5700 6000 6300 6600 6900 7200 Frequency (MHz) Figure 1.
