Internal Antennas

What are the types of internal antennas?

An internal antenna is a kind of built-in antenna installed inside electronic communication products for receiving signals, which is applied to portable consumer and communication terminal products such as cell phones, GPS, electronic products, etc. It is more convenient to use this function, and at the same time, it also provides great convenience for the appearance design of electronic products.

What are the types of internal antennas?

The internal antennas include the embedded antenna and built-in antenna.

Any surface-mounted antenna on the PCB is known as an embedded antenna. The most common embedded antennas are ceramic chip antennas, spring coil antennas, and sheet metal antennas. The embedded antenna design is often monopole, loop, IFA, or PIFA antennas. Embedded antennas are ideal for wireless modules, routers and gateways, payment terminals, and other miniaturized applications.

Built-in antennas are assembled or mounted inside a device housing but are not surface-mounted directly to a PCB board. PCB antenna and flexible PCB antennas with cable and RF connectors on the other end are the most common configurations. Built-in antennas are typically dipole-designed antennas. Built-in antennas can be used when there is room to mount a flexible pad to the inside surface of an application case. Common uses for built-in antennas include tablets, autonomous or robotic appliances, electronic devices, and portable entertainment devices.
