5G Wi-Fi6 built-in antenna solution

　　The 5G Wi-Fi 6 internal antenna solution is an important symbol of the current progress of communication technology. It combines the technical advantages of the fifth generation of mobile communications (5G) and the sixth generation of wireless LAN (Wi-Fi 6), providing a more efficient, stable and fast wireless connection capability for various devices. These solutions are widely used in consumer electronics, industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), smart home and other fields, meeting the network requirements in different scenarios. The following is a detailed discussion on the 5G Wi-Fi 6 internal antenna solution.

　　Technical features

　　Advanced communication standards support

　　5G Wi-Fi 6 internal antennas support the latest IEEE 802.11ax standard, namely Wi-Fi 6, and 5G NR (New Radio) specifications. This enables them to provide higher data transmission rates, lower latency, and can handle more concurrent users or devices1

　　. Specifically:

　　MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output): Allows access points to send data streams to multiple clients at the same time, thereby improving spectrum efficiency.

　　OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access): Allows multiple users to share different parts of the same channel, reducing waiting time and improving efficiency.

　　1024-QAM modulation: Compared with the previous 256-QAM, this more efficient modulation scheme can carry more bits of information in each symbol, increasing throughput.

　　BSS Coloring (Basic Service Set Coloring): Reduce interference between adjacent networks by marking different Wi-Fi signals, improving performance in dense environments7

　　Efficient hardware design

　　In order to achieve the best effect of the above technical features, 5G Wi-Fi 6 built-in antennas use advanced hardware design, such as matrix smart antennas and beamforming algorithms. Huawei AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 series products incorporate 5G-derived smart antenna technology, built-in dual-band 16 smart antennas and original beamforming algorithms, ensuring that the performance of the whole machine exceeds 10Gbps and the coverage radius is significantly improved3

　　. In addition, products like NAP-5820-X also support 8x8 MU-MIMO technology, further enhancing its wireless transmission capabilities and coverage1

　　Application Examples

　　Industrial Applications

　　In industrial environments, 5G Wi-Fi 6 built-in antennas are used to build reliable wireless infrastructure to support mission-critical applications such as automated production lines and remote monitoring systems. For example, some CPE (customer premises equipment) not only has built-in 2T2R WiFi antennas to support up to 160MHz bandwidth and AX3000-level wireless specifications, but also has up to 120+ simultaneous wireless terminal access capabilities, providing industrial users with flexible and stable connection options2

　　Consumer Electronics

　　For home users, routers and CPE devices that support Wi-Fi 6 provide better signal coverage throughout the house and higher data transmission rates. Some high-end routers use a 4T4R design to ensure stronger wireless signal performance; while "full-blood Wi-Fi 6" routers refer to those that not only support IEEE 802.11.ax wireless communication technology, but also have a frequency band bandwidth of 160MHz and support 1024-QAM modulation10

　　. In addition, there are products designed for specific application scenarios, such as the VTK-C6130G-5G CPE, which has a wider wireless coverage range and greater bandwidth while bringing higher security21

　　Design considerations

　　The following aspects need to be considered when designing 5G Wi-Fi 6 internal antennas:

　　Compactness and integration: Given the increasing requirements for space utilization in modern devices, internal antennas must be able to provide excellent performance in a limited space. For example, the AN.5G.INT.100.IP4 antenna launched by Maiswei uses FPC material and is installed by pasting, which is very suitable for embedding in compact devices1

　　Material selection: The right shell material is crucial to protect the antenna from the external environment. Especially for devices working in harsh environments, such as CPE used outdoors, the antenna should be able to withstand factors such as temperature changes and humidity.

　　Power management: Ensure that the antenna and its related components can operate normally within the expected operating voltage range, especially for devices that rely on PoE power supply, such as NAP-5820-X, which supports both local power supply and PoE remote power supply to adapt to different on-site power supply conditions1

　　Optimize signal reception: Use advanced beamforming technology and smart antenna arrays to enhance signal reception quality, maintaining good communication performance even in the presence of weak signals or interference.
