PATCH-2458/2 is high gain directional multi-element patch antenna purposely designed for dual-chain dual-band radio applications in 2.4 - 2.5 GHz and 5.0 - 6.0 GHz spectrum. Design utilizes x8 high quality commercial ceramic patch antennas and implements wide-band Klopfenstein transformers to form feeding network. Each chain consists of x4 ceramic patches and delivers 12-14 dBi of pure gain.

PATCH-2458/2 antenna is delivered fully assembled as shown on a picture, with x2 vertical SMA Female and x8 Taoglas ceramic patch antennas soldered to antenna PCB. Use it as-is (mounting arrangement required) or incorporate in custom dual-band patch array antenna projects.
