ANT-916-CW-HWR-RPS
Overview
The ANT-916-CW-HWR-RPS is a high-performance 1/2-wave dipole antenna designed for 916MHz ISM band applications including LoRa and Sigfox. This whip antenna features a tilting and rotating base for flexible positioning and uses a Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) connector for direct panel mounting. It provides a gain of 1.2dBi and maintains a VSWR of less than 2.0 within the 900MHz to 930MHz frequency range.
Why Choose This Part
The 1/2-wave dipole design eliminates the need for a ground plane, ensuring consistent performance regardless of the enclosure material. The integrated tilt-and-swivel mechanism allows for optimal orientation to maximize signal reception or to reduce the physical profile for storage. Its rugged construction and wide operating temperature range from -30C to +80C make it suitable for demanding indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.

Key Specifications
Getting Started
When integrating this antenna, ensure the host device uses an RP-SMA female bulkhead connector to match the antenna's RP-SMA male termination. For best performance, mount the antenna away from large metallic obstructions and maintain a vertical orientation. No additional tuning or matching circuitry is typically required if the transmission line is matched to 50 ohms.
