The WAEISO3 antennae is flexible enough to be installed inside the mini-pci slot (in contrast to the antennae leads that go installed behind the LCD screen, NO Laptop DISASSEMBLY required with this type). The pcb end has a diameter of about 3mm is flexible and electrically isolated (stabby).
The approximate length is just short of 10 inches / 25.5 cm terminated with a U.FL connector. A U.FL connector is the standard on the majority of mini-pci wireless cards. Those include 802.11 a , b , g , n and combinations as well as Bluetooth cards.
This is an omni-directional 3dBi gain antenna using a dipole design. This signal sensitivity is superior to most of the other case antennae cables that are placed behind the LCD. Gain results will vary depending on Mini-PCI slot location, slot cover material, or Case Routing.
The antennae cables should be placed as far as possible one from the other for better reception results. The antennae should be better hold in possition but having isolated PCB means that they require less space to position.
Avoid contact of the rubber end with heat sources.
Those are the best antennae to use if you do not want to open up completely your device.
ATT: Most of the new 11n miniPCI cards will need 3 antennae to fully reach their connection and range potentials.
