WIRELESS FIELD DEVICE WITH ANTENNA FOR INDUSTRIAL LOCATIONS

摘要

A wireless field device (100) is disclosed. The wireless field device includes an enclosure (102) having a processor (110) disposed within the enclosure (102). A power module (112) may also be located inside the enclosure (102) and be coupled to the processor (110). A wireless communication module (104) is operably coupled to the processor (110) and is configured to communicate using radio- frequency signals. An antenna (106, 202) is coupled to the wireless communication module (104). A radome (116) mounted to the enclosure (102) is formed of a polymeric material. The radome (116) has a chamber (124) inside that contains the antenna (106, 202).
