The ANT-2.4-WRT is a low-profile, panel-mount dipole antenna designed for 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band applications such as
Bluetooth® and ZigBee®.
The ANT-2.4-WRT antenna's compact size allows it to be mounted in applications requiring a low profile and external antenna
performance, such as wireless vending and traffic control equipment.
The ANT-2.4-WRT antenna is designed with an integrated counterpoise that eliminates the need for additional ground plane in the
product, making it ideal for applications with non-conductive or RF transparent enclosures.
Connector options for the ANT-2.4-WRT antenna are: SMA plug (male pin), RP-SMA plug (female socket), MHF1/U.FL-type plug
(female socket), or MHF4-type plug (female socket).

Page 3: Recommended Mounting
RECOMMENDED MOUNTING The recommended enclosure mounting dimensions are shown in Figure 2. The ANT-2.4-WRT series antenna is supplied with an integrated closed-cell pressure sensitive adhesive ring which helps seal enclosures against external elements. The adhesive ring has a protective plastic backing that must be removed prior to installation. A pull tab has been provided for easy removal of the protective backing. -
Page 4: Return Loss
VSWR Figure 5 provides the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across the antenna bandwidth. VSWR describes the power reflected from the antenna back to the radio. A lower VSWR value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency. Reflected power is also shown on the right-side vertical axis as a gauge of the percentage of transmitter power reflected back from the antenna. - Page 5 PEAK GAIN The peak gain across the antenna bandwidth is shown in Figure 7. Peak gain represents the maximum antenna input power concentration across 3-dimensional space, and therefore peak performance at a given frequency, but does not consider any directionality in the gain pattern. 2400 2410 2420...
- Page 6 RADIATION EFFICIENCY Radiation efficiency (Figure 9), shows the ratio of power delivered to the antenna relative to the power radiated at the antenna, expressed as a percentage, where a higher percentage indicates better performance at a given frequency. 2400 2410 2420 2430 2440...

Page 7: Radiation Patterns
RADIATION PATTERNS Radiation patterns provide information about the directionality and 3-dimensional gain performance of the antenna by plotting gain at specific frequencies in three orthogonal planes. Antenna radiation patterns for a free space orientation are shown in Figure 10 using polar plots covering 360 degrees. The antenna graphic at the top of the page provides reference to the plane of the column of plots below it. - Page 8 CENTER OF GROUND PLANE The charts on the following pages represent data taken with the antenna oriented at the center of the ground plane, as shown in Figure 11. Figure 11. ANT-2.4-WRT Series Antenna at Center of Ground Plane VSWR Figure 12 provides the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across the antenna bandwidth.
- Page 9 RETURN LOSS Return loss (Figure 13), represents the loss in power at the antenna due to reflected signals. Like VSWR, a lower return loss value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency. 2400 2410 2420 2430 2440 2450 2460 2470 2480 2490...
- Page 10 AVERAGE GAIN Average gain (Figure 15), is the average of all antenna gain in 3-dimensional space at each frequency, providing an indication of overall performance without expressing antenna directionality. 2400 2410 2420 2430 2440 2450 2460 2470 2480 2490 2500 Frequency (MHz) Figure 15.
- Page 11 RADIATION PATTERNS Radiation patterns provide information about the directionality and 3-dimensional gain performance of the antenna by plotting gain at specific frequencies in three orthogonal planes. Antenna radiation patterns are shown in Figure 17 using polar plots covering 360 degrees. The antenna graphic at the top of the page provides reference to the plane of the column of plots below it. Note: when viewed with typical PDF viewing software, zooming into radiation patterns is possible to reveal fine detail.
