ANT-868-CW-RH-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-868-CW-RH-SMA is a reduced-height, quarter-wave whip antenna designed for the 868 MHz ISM band. It operates within a frequency range of 855 MHz to 880 MHz with a center frequency of 868 MHz and a bandwidth of 25 MHz. The component features a monopole structure with helical mechanical form, providing -1.5 dBi gain. It has a 50 Ohm impedance, 1.9 VSWR, and measures 51 mm in length. The antenna utilizes an SMA male connector for panel mount installation and supports protocols including LoRaWAN, Sigfox, GSM, UMTS, NB-IoT, LTE, and RFID.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Reduced height quarter-wave whip design suitable for space-constrained indoor applications
• Helical monopole construction optimized for sub-GHz ISM band operations
• Panel mount configuration with SMA male interface for direct integration

Antennas RF Applications

• LoRaWAN sensor networks
• Sigfox remote monitoring devices
• NB-IoT and LTE cellular modules
• GSM and UMTS communication equipment

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm connector type and physical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB or chassis panel mounting requirements. Confirm RoHS and REACH compliance status against current regulatory standards for the destination market. Cross-reference the datasheet version to validate electrical parameters such as VSWR and gain values prior to procurement.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile antenna is required for indoor IoT deployments. The reduced height profile distinguishes it from standard whip variants like the ANT-868-CW-HW. Consider the -1.5 dBi gain trade-off against spatial constraints. Verify that the SMA male connector matches the host device interface without requiring adapters.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the Linx RH (Reduced Height) series, specifically engineered for compact wireless modules. It complements other ANT-868 variants by offering a shorter physical footprint while maintaining performance in the European ISM band. The product line targets developers designing small-form-factor smart home and industrial sensing nodes.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include ANT-868-CW-RP-SMA for RP-SMA interfaces or ANT-868-ID-1000-SMA for extended cable options. For higher gain requirements, consider the ANT-868-CW-HW series. Ensure replacement parts match the SMA connector gender and panel mount style.
