ANT-W63WS1 Series

Antenna Orientation

The W63WS1 series antenna is characterized in two antenna orientations as shown in Figure 2. The antenna

straight orientation characterizes use of an antenna attached to an enclosure-mounted connector which

is connected by cable to a printed circuit board. Although the antenna is a dipole not requiring a ground

plane for function, characterizaton with an adjacent ground plane, (102 mm x 102 mm) provides insight

into antenna performance when attached directly to a printed circuit board mounted connector. The two

orientations represent the most common end-product use cases.
