In an effort to shorten the antenna design and selection process, TE Connectivity has developed a complete family of off-the-shelf antennas targeted at many of today’s common applications. The ability to embed a TE Connectivity antenna inside the device without loss of performance is the most important feature. This, coupled with the small size and light weight, provides the designer with a low cost, attractive alternative to the conventional whip antenna.  These antennas can mount via standard surface mount process or via through-hole tabs.

It is important to note that most of these embedded antennas have been optimised to operate in conjunction with a minimum specified groundplane or counterpoise length. Please refer to the individual datasheets for minimum groundplane requirements for optimum performance. Avnet Abacus stocks a wide variety of TE Connectivity Embedded Antenna products.

TE antenna products can be found in applications such as:

• Mobile and Smart phones
• Notebook and desktop computers
• Gaming devices
• Wireless printers and routers
• HDTVs & IPTVs
• Wireless alarm, security and monitoring systems
• Smart grids

TE's antennas are not only designed for a variety of applications, but also are intended to accommodate numerous sets of frequency bands for operation on any regional or global network.
