Centurion Wireless Technologies introduces two new antennas for Bluetooth applications: the BlueChip™ and the MicroBlue antennas.

The BlueChip antenna is an internal antenna that offers high-gain performance (> 2.0 dBi) with a wide bandwidth. It's small and lightweight with PCB surface mount-applicable in vertical or horizontal positions without sacrificing performance - and can be delivered in tape and reel packaging. The MicroBlue antenna features one of the smallest footprints of its type at .030 thick, and it provides 3 dBi gain. The MicroBlue is customizable for high-volume embedded applications in either board- or cable-mount configurations.

The BlueChip and MicroBlue antennas cover a frequency range from 2.4 to 2.5 GHz and are omnidirectional along the azimuth plane. The Bluetooth and WLAN applications include IEEE 802.11, HomeRF and Open Air.
