Patch Antennas

A patch antenna is a rectangular shaped low profile radio antenna that can be mounted on a flat surface. Patch antennas typically consist of a flat rectangular metal sheet (often referred to as the "patch") mounted over a larger metal sheet (referred to as the "ground plane".) The assembly is typically contained inside a plastic casing called a radome to protect the antenna structure from damage. Patch antennas are widely used because they are easy to fabricate, modify, and customize.

It is important to select the proper hardware for a wireless installation and a wireless site survey is highly recommended to ensure proper wireless coverage of a facility. The hardware selection process can be confusing at times which is why we do not list multiple antenna options and instead urge you to contact us for assistance.
