DCE8658PRFSMF

Antennas RF Overview

The DCE8658PRFSMF is a fixed, right-hand circularly polarized (RHCP) panel antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity. It operates within the ISM frequency range of 868MHz to 915MHz, specifically covering 865MHz to 870MHz. The component features an SMA female connector for termination and provides a gain of 8.5dBic with a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.5. Designed for durability, it offers IP67 ingress protection and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 10W. The unit utilizes a low-profile design suitable for base mounting.

Antennas RF Feature Summary
