Overview

The ANT-916-CW-RH is a compact, reduced-height whip antenna designed for 915MHz ISM band applications including LoRa, Sigfox, and proprietary UHF data links. It features a straight RP-SMA male connector for direct chassis mounting and is optimized for the 900MHz to 935MHz frequency range. At only 51mm in length, it provides a low-profile solution for space-constrained industrial and IoT devices.

Why Choose This Part

The antenna offers a small mechanical footprint with a length of 51mm while maintaining a VSWR of less than 1.9 at the center frequency. Its rugged construction supports a wide operating temperature range from -40C to +90C, making it suitable for harsh outdoor and industrial deployments.

Applications

LoRaWAN Gateways
Compact external antenna for localized LPWAN infrastructure where a low-profile form factor is required.
Industrial Remote Monitoring
Ideal for 915MHz sensor nodes in factory environments requiring a durable, connector-mounted antenna.
Smart Agriculture
Used on weather stations and soil moisture sensors operating within the 900MHz to 935MHz ISM band.
Automated Meter Reading
Integrates into utility meters for reliable wireless data transmission to collection hubs.

Getting Started

Ensure the host device has a bulkhead RP-SMA female jack with a proper ground plane for optimal RF performance. For devices requiring a standard SMA polarity, use the ANT-916-CW-RH-SMA variant instead to avoid the need for adapters that increase signal loss.
