Overview

The ANT-916-CW-RH-SMA is a compact, straight whip antenna designed for the 900MHz to 935MHz frequency range. It features a standard SMA male connector and a reduced-height profile of only 51mm, making it suitable for space-constrained wireless applications. This single-band antenna is optimized for UHF ISM band communications including LoRa and Sigfox.

Why Choose This Part

The RH series offers a significantly smaller footprint than standard 1/4-wave whips without sacrificing mechanical durability. It maintains a VSWR of 1.9 and operates across a wide temperature range from -40C to +90C, ensuring stability in outdoor or harsh industrial deployments.

Applications

LoRaWAN End Devices
Provides a reliable RF interface for battery-powered sensors operating on the 915MHz LoRa band.
Sigfox Connectivity
Used in low-data-rate industrial monitoring systems requiring connectivity to Sigfox networks.
Remote Utility Metering
Integrated into smart meters for wireless data transmission in urban or industrial environments.
Handheld Transceivers
Small form factor allows for integration into portable 900MHz ISM band communication tools.

Getting Started

Ensure the host PCB provides a sufficient ground plane to achieve the rated VSWR and gain performance. The antenna should be mounted directly to a bulkhead or PCB-mounted SMA female connector, keeping the surrounding area clear of metal obstructions to prevent detuning.
