This section will collect information about all types of antennas and RF connectors used in AVM hardware. Each type gets an own article, which is linked from the Interfaces secftions of all Box-Models and Accessories articles, forming a cross reference database and the typical Model-Matrix per item.

Wave-Length[edit]
Wave length (full-wave / half-wave / quarter-wave):
- 5GHz: 59.96 mm => 60 / 30 / 15 mm
- 2.4 GHz: 124.91 mm => 125 / 62 / 31 mm
- 1.9 GHz: 157.79 mm => 158 / 79 / 39 mm
- 100 MHz: 3 m => 3000 / 1500 / 750 mm
AVM uses quarter-wave for internal antennas.
