Antenna Considerations for WiFi 6

With the increasing number of our world population becoming connected via the internet and with the ever-increasing development of new wireless technologies, the need for faster speeds and increased bandwidth also looms.

To mitigate these technological needs, the Wi-Fi Alliance has introduced the newest generation of Wi-Fi technology – Wi-Fi 6 (also known as or based upon the IEEE 802.11ax standard).

This application brief discusses how antennas and antenna systems must evolve and/or perform to function successfully in a Wi-Fi 6 world.
