ANT-916-CW-RH-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-916-CW-RH-SMA is a reduced-height quarter-wave whip antenna designed for the 916 MHz ISM band. It operates within a frequency range of 900 MHz to 935 MHz, centered at 916 MHz. The component features an RP-SMA male connector and offers a gain of -1.3 dBi with a VSWR of 1.9. It has a maximum height of 51 mm and is intended for connector installation in IoT applications.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Compact reduced-height design suitable for space-constrained enclosures
• Integrated RP-SMA male connector for direct device attachment
• Optimized performance for sub-GHz LPWAN protocols

Antennas RF Applications

• LoRaWAN sensor networks
• Sigfox communication modules
• General ISM band remote monitoring systems

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and pin configuration against the target device interface before integration. Confirm that the operating environment falls within the specified temperature and power limits. Check current availability status as supply chain conditions may vary for discontinued or legacy components.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile external antenna is required for 916 MHz operations. It serves as an alternative to standard whip antennas where physical height restrictions exist. Ensure the host equipment supports the RP-SMA interface type to avoid adapter requirements.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the CW Series of single-band antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. The series focuses on Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) connectivity solutions. It complements other models in the family by providing specialized form factors for different mounting and spatial constraints.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-916-CW-RH is a related variant within the same product line. Verify compatibility if substituting, noting potential differences in connector types or exact dimensional tolerances between the SMA and non-SMA versions.
