ANT-1.4-CW-HW

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-1.4-CW-HW is a UHF whip antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for operation within the 1.35GHz to 1.45GHz frequency range with a center frequency of 1.4GHz. It features a straight whip form factor and provides a gain of 0.7dBi. The antenna utilizes an RP-SMA male connector for installation and exhibits a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 2. Classified under the HW series, it supports single-band applications in the 1GHz to 2GHz group.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip design optimized for UHF band transmission
• Integrated RP-SMA male connector for direct interface
• RoHS compliant construction with unlimited moisture sensitivity level

Antennas RF Applications

• UHF wireless communication systems
• Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) equipment
• Remote control and security system transceivers

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type against project requirements, as variants exist with different interfaces. Confirm that the 0.7dBi gain specification aligns with link budget calculations. Ensure the RP-SMA male termination matches the mating port on the host device. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-frequency UHF solution is required without adjustable tuning. The straight whip geometry suits space-constrained vertical mounting scenarios. Consider the 0.7dBi gain relative to higher-gain alternatives if extended range is necessary. Validate that the RP-SMA interface is compatible with existing RF chain components before integration.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-1.4 family of antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. It shares the HW series designation with other models in the lineup, indicating consistent mechanical and electrical design principles across the product line. The part is distinct from SMA-equipped variants such as the ANT-1.4-CW-HW-SMA.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-1.4-CW-HW-SMA serves as a functional substitute with identical RF performance but utilizes an SMA male connector instead of RP-SMA. Verify connector compatibility before substitution to ensure physical mating.
