What kind of antenna is this?
« on: July 16, 2015, 06:18:15 am »
I've pulled apart a wifi access point to better understand it and found a number of internal antennas.

It has about 8 that all look like the attached photo, only some are different angles from others.

What kind of antennas are these?

It's a cheap antenna. One they can punch out in massive quantities

Probably has a name but it looks more or less like a dipole that has been folded over
