embedded antenna: 802.11 a/b/g and GPS - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I can understand the requirement for a dual band antenna (2.4GHz and 5.8GHz) which is available widely, but you will probably find it verry difficult to find an antenna that can also operate in the 1.8GHz.

If I were you, I would just go for the dual band knowing that I'm sacrificing antenna gain (attenuation,loss) with the GPS signal and accommodate for that with a good GPS-LNA.

best of luck.
