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.

Applications

LoRaWAN Gateways
Ideal for indoor LoRaWAN gateways and concentrators requiring reliable Sub-GHz coverage in the 915MHz US band.
Industrial Sensor Networks
Provides robust wireless connectivity for remote industrial monitoring systems and smart metering infrastructure.
Sigfox Connectivity
Suited for Sigfox-compatible IoT devices that require an external antenna for improved link budget and range.
Smart Home Hubs
Used in central smart home controllers to communicate with 900MHz wireless sensors and actuators.

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.
