Pulse, a technitrol company focused in the design, manufacturing, and subassembly sales of electronic components, has reportedly unveiled its new dual-band diversity ceramic antenna that operates in both 850 and 1900 megahertz or “MHz” bands.

 

According to officials with Pulse (News - Alert), the newly released W3047A dual-band antenna offers a high-quality radio interface for multi-purpose machine-to-machine or “M2M” devices such as broadband access, monitoring, automated meter reading and security and is specially designed for use in the U.S.

 “The W3047A has the world's smallest footprint and highest performance level for a dual-band ceramic antenna,” said Kent Vu, product manager, Pulse Antenna Division. 'It saves board space, is easy to incorporate, and is a cost saving solution, factors which make it desirable for an engineer to design in.”

In addition, the new W3047A blends well with surface mount devices and are easy to implement. This RoHS compliant unit comes with Pulse’s worldwide technical support and is packaged in tape-and-reel.

Pulse recently announced the release of a family of cable television CATV RF transformers and RF diplex filters that meet DOCSIS 3.0 design requirements for applications such as set-top boxes, cable modems, and gateways.

 

 

The M2M Evolution Conference to be held Jan. 20 in Miami and collocated with ITEXPO East 2010, will focus on how telemetry has been changing to take advantage of the Internet, where WAN and LAN systems were points of aggregation in the past today’s machines benefit from the ability to connect worldwide. And as the machines continue to look to network the wireless world represents a large growth opportunity for data communication. Don’t wait. Register now.
