SARANTEL ANTENNA UNIT
Stock Quantity: 0
The SARANTEL SL1206 is a surface-mount antenna designed for operation in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. This RoHS-compliant antenna unit, manufactured using lead-free processes, is typically employed in applications utilizing Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n), and Zigbee protocols. Characterization data indicates a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and a VSWR typically less than 2:1 across the specified frequency range. The SL1206’s compact 1206 case size (3.2mm x 1.6mm) facilitates integration into space-constrained PCB layouts. Performance is highly dependent on the ground plane dimensions and placement on the host PCB; therefore, careful impedance matching and tuning are crucial for optimal radiation efficiency and return loss. Engineers should consult the manufacturer’s application notes and reference designs for recommended PCB layout guidelines to achieve specified antenna performance.
