SAM-1731731510-SF-L1

Rev 1.0

Description:
Model SAM-1731731510-SF-L1 is a linear
polarized, 17.2 GHz microstrip patch arrayantenna. The antenna implements a series-fed
power distribution to achieve low side lobelevels. The antenna has a gain of 15 dBi and abeamwidth of 75 degrees vertically and 10
degrees horizontally, with a -15 dB side lobe
suppression level. The antenna is constructedwith a high performing, low loss soft microwave substrate to achieve the best performance in the class.
The RF interface is a SMA(F) connector.
