Please join subject matter experts from Avnet Electronics Marketing and TE Connectivity for a new on-demand 8 minute web seminar detailing basic antenna design criteria. Many common electronic devices rely on antennas to communicate wirelessly. 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.

While it takes many years to become an expert antenna designer, several basic antenna specifications are described.  This seminar is intended to assist non-RF engineers quickly understand their antenna needs and choose an appropriate solution. Standard antenna solutions from TE Connectivity are presented for several common applications.  These include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee and standard cellular bandwidths.  Different antenna types - Including surface and tab mount - will also be covered. 

More information on these products and general RF support can be found at www.em.avnet.com/teantennas.
