ANT-916-CW-RCL-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-916-CW-RCL-SMA is a right-angle whip RF antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for the UHF frequency group. It operates within a frequency range of 902MHz to 930MHz with a center frequency of 915MHz. The component provides a gain of 4.2dBi and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.9. It features an SMA male connector for mounting and is intended for use in ISM and LPWA applications.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Right-angle whip design for compact orientation
• SMA male connector interface
• Optimized for sub-GHz ISM and LPWA bands

Antennas RF Applications

• ISM band communications
• LPWA network connections
• Sensor networks

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version when sourcing this component, as specifications may vary between manufacturing batches. Confirm that the SMA male connector type matches your system requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your project. Ensure the right-angle form factor fits within your enclosure constraints before finalizing procurement.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile right-angle configuration is required for sub-GHz operations. The 4.2dBi gain offers improved performance over standard omnidirectional whips while maintaining a small footprint. Consider the SMA male interface compatibility with your host device connectors. This antenna is suitable for applications where space is limited but directional gain is beneficial.

Antennas RF Part Context

This antenna belongs to the ANT-916 series from TE Connectivity Linx, which focuses on sub-GHz frequencies. The CW-RCL suffix indicates a specific whip style with a right-angle connector. It complements other variants like the straight whip or tilt models within the same frequency family, providing installation flexibility for different mechanical layouts.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other right-angle whip antennas from the same manufacturer operating in the 902-930MHz range with SMA male connectors. Verify that any replacement maintains the 4.2dBi gain and 1.9 VSWR specifications to ensure consistent RF performance.
