Simple 2.4Ghz antenna

[joedamato]

Hi,

We need a 2.4Ghz smd antenna, not to emit bluetooth but a in-house protocol we are testing. It will need to fit on a pcb and have good performance, and production ready (low cost enough). Think smartphone/tablet/thin devices.

Ideally, it may be set to lower the emitting range; but that is a bonus.

It should be connectable to an ARM Cortex-A9 cpu via spi or uart (or better?)

The setup, security, message format shall be defined by us. The antenna shall just transmit it.

What is the best product in the NS range that would fit best?

Thanks

That makes no sense whatsoever!

An antenna simply couples an existing, modulated radio signal from the PCB (or cable) to the surrounding environment - SPI, UART, etc are not radio signals!!

It sounds like what you are looking for is not just an antenna, but also a radio transmitter...?

NS is not an antenna manufacturer - so there aren't any! They do, however, make some radio transceiver chips - which is, perhaps, what you're really looking for?
