ANT-2.4-CW-QW-RPS

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-CW-QW-RPS is a linear polarization RF antenna designed for the ISM band, operating within a frequency range of 2.35 to 2.6 GHz with a center frequency of 2.45 GHz. It features a whip-style mechanical form factor and provides a gain of 1.1 dBi. The unit maintains a 50 Ohm impedance and exhibits a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.9. Designed for panel mounting, it utilizes an RP-SMA male connector for termination. The antenna supports protocols including Bluetooth, BLE, WiFi, Zigbee, Thread, and ANT, functioning reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Whip-style design with tilt/swivel capability for directional adjustment
• Supports multiple wireless protocols including Bluetooth, WiFi, and Zigbee
• Panel mount installation with RP-SMA male connector interface

Antennas RF Applications

• Bluetooth and BLE device connectivity
• WiFi network integration
• Zigbee and Thread mesh networking
• General ISM band communication systems

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix to confirm connector type and mechanical style, as variations exist within the product line. Ensure compatibility with the host device's connector interface and mounting requirements. Confirm environmental ratings match the intended operational temperature range. Cross-reference official datasheets for precise electrical parameters before integration.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile whip antenna with adjustable orientation is required for 2.4 GHz applications. The 1.1 dBi gain suits short-range indoor deployments. Verify that the RP-SMA connector matches the system board or cable assembly. Consider the physical dimensions and mounting constraints relative to the enclosure design.

Antennas RF Part Context

This antenna belongs to the Linx Technologies family of RF components under TE Connectivity. It is part of a series offering various whip and rigid styles for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications. The product line addresses diverse mounting needs, ranging from panel mounts to PCB-integrated solutions, supporting standard wireless protocols.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include models with identical electrical specifications but different connectors, such as the ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP which uses an SMA male connector instead of RP-SMA. Mechanical variations like the straight whip ANT-2.4-CW-QW-RPS may serve as alternatives if tilt functionality is not required.
