Overview

The ANT-916-CW-HW is a high-performance 1/4-wave whip antenna designed for operation in the 900MHz to 930MHz frequency range. It is specifically engineered for ISM band applications including LoRa, Sigfox, and proprietary sensor networks that require a reliable, connector-mounted solution.

Why Choose This Part

This antenna features a VSWR of less than 1.9 and a gain of 1.2dBi, ensuring efficient power transfer and signal integrity. Its ruggedized design and wide operating temperature range of -20C to +85C make it suitable for outdoor or harsh industrial deployments.

Applications

LoRaWAN Gateways
Ideal for fixed base stations or long-range IoT gateways operating in the 915MHz US ISM band.
Industrial Telemetry
Used in remote monitoring systems for collecting sensor data over long distances in industrial environments.
Smart Agriculture
Provides reliable RF connectivity for soil moisture sensors and irrigation control systems.
Sigfox End-Nodes
Standardized whip antenna solution for Sigfox-compatible low-power wide-area network devices.

Getting Started

Ensure your PCB layout includes a sufficient ground plane as 1/4-wave whip antennas require one for optimal performance. Verify whether your hardware requires the standard SMA (ANT-916-CW-HW-SMA) or the RP-SMA (ANT-916-CW-HW) variant to match the bulkhead connector.
