2.1 xWRL1432BOOST-BSD Antenna

The xWRL1432BOOST-BSD includes three receiver and two transmitter antennas. These antennas are designed as a high gain series-fed patch antenna connected to the the device using Grounded Coplanar Waveguide. To achieve best performance at high frequencies, Rogers RO3003 was selected as the dielectric substrate for the antennas. Figure 2-5 shows the antenna configuration.

Note: Each of the series fed patch antennas on the xWRL1432BOOST-BSD has a gain of approximately 13 dBi. The three RX antennas are located on the left, and the two TX antennas are lcated on the right.
