Patch Antenna

Patch antennas are compact, low-profile antennas that provide reliable directional RF performance in a small footprint. Often mounted directly on circuit boards, they are widely used in applications requiring space efficiency, moderate gain, and consistent performance across defined frequency ranges.

FAQ about patch antennas

What is a patch antenna and how does it work?

A patch antenna is a low-profile, directional antenna consisting of a flat conductive patch mounted over a ground plane. It transmits and receives RF signals by generating surface currents, making it ideal for compact and embedded applications.

What are the typical applications for patch antennas?

Patch antennas are commonly used in GPS/GNSS systems, IoT devices, wireless communication modules, automotive electronics, and aerospace systems due to their small size and directional characteristics.

What frequency ranges do patch antennas support?

MCV patch antennas are available for various frequency bands, including L-band (for GPS/GNSS), S-band, and other customized ranges based on specific system requirements.

How do patch antennas compare to other types of antennas?

Patch antennas offer a good balance of size, gain, and performance. They are less bulky than dish or Yagi antennas but provide more directionality than omnidirectional antennas.

Are MCV patch antennas suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?

Yes, MCV patch antennas are built with rugged materials and can be housed in weather-resistant enclosures, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
