ANT-2.4-CW-CT-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-CW-CT-SMA is a single-band RF antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for the 2.375GHz to 2.525GHz frequency range. It features a straight whip antenna type with a peak gain of 2.8dBi and a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.9. The component utilizes an SMA male connector for termination and employs a connector mounting style. This antenna supports wireless protocols including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip design optimized for consistent omnidirectional radiation patterns
• SMA male connector interface for direct integration with compatible RF modules
• Broadband performance covering standard 2.4GHz ISM band applications

Antennas RF Applications

• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device connectivity
• Wi-Fi enabled consumer electronics and IoT sensors
• Zigbee mesh network node implementation

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the SMA male connector polarity matches the receiving equipment's female port. Confirm mechanical clearance requirements for the straight whip form factor within the final enclosure. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature limits for reliable RF performance.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, straight whip configuration is required for 2.4GHz applications. It serves as a suitable alternative to tilted designs where vertical space constraints dictate a linear profile. Consider the 2.8dBi gain level against system link budget requirements.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-2.4 series of RF antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. The series offers various physical configurations tailored for different industrial and commercial wireless standards. The CW designation indicates a specific whip construction variant within the broader product family.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include models with identical SMA male connectors and comparable 2.4GHz specifications. Verify mechanical dimensions and mounting hole patterns before swapping. Cross-reference part numbers such as ANT-2.4-CW-RH-SMA if connector polarity or tilt angles differ.
