ANT-490-CW-QW-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-490-CW-QW-SMA is a single-band, straight whip RF antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx. Designed for UHF frequencies, it operates within the 470MHz to 510MHz range with a center frequency of 490MHz. The component provides a gain of 1.3dBi and supports a maximum power rating of 10 W. It features an SMA male connector for installation and includes a 216mm cable length. The antenna is suitable for GSM, ISM, LoRaWAN, LTE, SIGFOX, and UMTS applications.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip design optimized for low-power wide-area networks
• Compatible with O-ring sealing for environmental protection
• Integrated 216mm cable for flexible routing

Antennas RF Applications

• GSM communication systems
• ISM band operations
• LoRaWAN network devices
• LTE connectivity modules
• SIGFOX IoT applications

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the SMA male connector matches the host device interface. Confirm the 470MHz to 510MHz frequency range aligns with regional regulatory requirements. Ensure the 10 W power rating exceeds system transmission levels. Check for O-ring compatibility if environmental sealing is required.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-frequency solution for the 490MHz band is required. The straight whip form factor suits panel or enclosure mounting. Consider the 216mm cable length for spatial constraints between the antenna and radio module. Verify impedance matching for optimal signal transfer in LPWA deployments.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the CW Series of single-band connectorized antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. It is part of the ANT-490 product family, designed specifically for Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) and LTE applications. The series emphasizes compact integration for industrial and consumer IoT devices requiring reliable UHF connectivity.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-490-PW-QW serves as a direct substitute, offering identical electrical specifications but utilizing a panel mount interface instead of the SMA connector. Ensure mechanical mounting differences are accommodated during replacement.
