FlexMIMO, the industry's first flexible PIFA antenna for Wi-Fi MIMO applications, has two integrated 2.4/5 GHz dual-band antenna elements specifically designed for 802.11 MIMO applications, such as automated equipment, medical devices, and a myriad of IoT use cases. It is based on a Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) structure, comprised of two mylar antenna elements with a foam core, resulting in a low profile, flexible antenna.
The FlexMIMO can be mounted in a wide range of applications. The flexible PIFA antenna structure allows for the use of the antenna on flat and curved surfaces (concave or convex), providing greater flexibility in design and superior antenna gain and performance.
The antenna has a layered, compact design that is about the size and thickness of a quarter, which reduces the overall solution footprint. With an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C, the 2.4/5 GHz model is specifically designed for 802.11n/ac/ax applications that use MIMO or Wi-Fi Diversity. The FlexMIMO has low ECC performance, enabling best in class throughput and range performance, and can be used with Laird's 60 Series of Wi-Fi + BT modules.
