ANT-916-PW-QW-UFL

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-916-PW-QW-UFL is a 916MHz whip antenna from the PW series by TE Connectivity Linx. It operates within an 865MHz to 965MHz frequency range, providing 1.8dBi gain and a VSWR of 1.32. The component features a U.FL (MHF1) connector for surface mount installation. Designed for IoT applications including LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT, LTE, and GSM, it supports Sub-GHz ISM protocols.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Compact permanent mount design suitable for space-constrained IoT devices
• Broadband operation covering multiple LPWAN and cellular standards
• Integrated cable termination with U.FL connector for direct PCB interface

Antennas RF Applications

• LoRaWAN sensor networks
• Sigfox remote monitoring systems
• NB-IoT and LTE Cat-M1 modules

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as distribution channels may list varying stock levels. Confirm mechanical fit for U.FL mating on target PCBs. Check RoHS compliance documentation for specific regional regulatory requirements. Ensure connector polarity matches system design specifications before integration.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile external antenna is required for Sub-GHz LPWAN or cellular IoT applications. The U.FL interface simplifies integration into compact modules where SMA connectors are impractical. Consider the 1.8dBi gain sufficient for short-range indoor or urban deployments requiring reliable connectivity without large form factors.

Antennas RF Part Context
