ANT-490-PW-QW

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-490-PW-QW is a single-band, straight whip RF antenna designed for panel mounting. It operates within the 470MHz to 510MHz frequency 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 a VSWR of 1.5 and utilizes a solder termination method. The antenna includes a 216mm cable compatible with O-rings and has a maximum height of 157.70mm.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Designed for low-power wide-area (LPWA) and LTE applications in the UHF band.
• Features a straight whip form factor suitable for permanent panel installation.
• Includes an integrated cable compatible with O-ring sealing requirements.

Antennas RF Applications

• GSM networks
• ISM band operations
• LoRaWAN connectivity
• LTE communications
• SIGFOX networks

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type required for your application, as datasheets may list variations such as SMA or U.FL terminations for similar model numbers. Confirm that the panel mounting hole dimensions align with the physical specifications provided in the official TE Connectivity Linx documentation. Ensure the operating environment temperature ranges are within the specified limits for reliable performance.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed, high-gain solution is required for UHF frequencies around 490MHz. Consider the 1.3dBi gain and 10W power handling for robust signal transmission in LPWA deployments. Evaluate the panel mount requirement against space constraints, noting the 157.70mm height. Compare with flexible whip alternatives if dynamic positioning is necessary.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the PW Series, which focuses on single-band panel-mount antennas for LPWA and LTE technologies. It is part of the broader ANT-490 product family, sharing design characteristics with other variants like the ANT-490-CW-QW-SMA but differing in termination style and mechanical configuration.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-490-CW-QW-SMA is a related variant offering similar electrical performance with an SMA male connector. Verify compatibility regarding connector type and mounting style before substitution.
