What is an External Antenna?

External antennas, as the name suggests, are antennas mounted outside of electronic devices or structures to enhance wireless communication. They are a vital component in various applications, including cellular networks, Wi-Fi routers, satellite communication, and more. These antennas come in diverse shapes and sizes, from the familiar external antennas on Wi-Fi routers to large parabolic dishes for long-distance communication. External antennas are employed to extend signal range, improve signal quality, and overcome obstacles or interference. They are especially useful in environments with weak or obstructed signals, such as rural areas or densely populated urban settings, as they can significantly enhance the performance and reliability of wireless communication systems.

Understanding External Antennas

External antennas can use either the monopole or dipole design and are typically used for higher power transmission and reception. They are ideal for applications such as Bluetooth, wireless protocols, WLAN/WWAN, and IoT.
