Overview

The ANT-916-MHW-RPS-S is a high-performance 915MHz center-fed dipole antenna designed for ISM band and LPWAN applications. It features a compact, adhesive-mount design with two flexible radiating elements, providing a gain of 5.4dBi for extended range. This model comes with 2 meters (79 inches) of RG-174 coaxial cable terminated in an RP-SMA male connector.

Why Choose This Part

The antenna offers a high 5.4dBi gain and a low VSWR of 1.9, ensuring efficient power transfer and extended range for sub-GHz radios. Its dipole design eliminates the need for a ground plane, making it versatile for mounting on plastic, glass, or metal surfaces. The ruggedized construction and adhesive backing allow for quick and damage-resistant installation in harsh environments.

Applications

LPWAN Gateways
Ideal for LoRaWAN and Sigfox gateways where the antenna must be mounted to a window or enclosure to maximize line-of-sight performance.
Remote Industrial Monitoring
Provides reliable sub-GHz wireless links for industrial sensors and SCADA systems operating in the 902-928MHz band.
Smart Grid Infrastructure
Used in utility metering and automated meter reading (AMR) systems that require rugged, omni-directional coverage.
Home Automation
Suitable for Z-Wave or custom 915MHz RF hubs requiring a permanent, high-gain external antenna solution.

Getting Started

When mounting the antenna, ensure the radiating elements are oriented vertically for best omni-directional performance and far-field propagation. Maintain clearance from large metallic obstructions to prevent pattern distortion. Connect the RP-SMA male termination to any standard 915MHz RF module or transceiver port, ensuring the connector types match to avoid the need for lossy adapters.
