Overview

The ANT-DB1-LCD-SMA is a compact, tri-band whip antenna designed for high-performance wireless communication in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It features a tilt and swivel design for flexible positioning and utilizes an SMA male connector for secure attachment to RF equipment. This antenna is optimized for WiFi, WLAN, and U-NII applications where reliable signal gain is required in a small form factor.

Why Choose This Part

This antenna offers a high gain of up to 4.5 dBi in the 5 GHz band while maintaining a low VSWR of 1.9 for efficient power transfer. Its small 83.1 mm length and tilt mechanism make it ideal for compact enclosures where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. The support for multiple frequency groups including 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz ensures compatibility with a wide range of global wireless standards.

Applications

WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 Gateways
Provides external high-gain coverage for dual-band wireless access points and routers operating across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ranges.
Industrial IoT Sensing
