GD9-DC15-NF

Antennas RF Overview

The GD9-DC15-NF is a NLOS die-cast grid antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity, operating within the UHF frequency range of 900MHz to 928MHz. It features a gain of 15dBi and utilizes an N-type female connector for termination. The antenna includes a cable length of 762mm (30 inches) and is designed for bracket mounting. Constructed for durability, it supports applications such as WiMax communications. The component is classified as active with a moisture sensitivity level of 1, ensuring unlimited floor life for standard surface mount or through-hole integration processes.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Die-cast grid construction for robust structural integrity in non-line-of-sight environments
• High gain performance optimized for UHF band operations
• Integrated N-type female connector with pre-attached cable assembly

Antennas RF Applications

• WiMax communication systems
• UHF wireless data transmission networks
• Fixed wireless access points requiring non-line-of-sight coverage

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as TE Connectivity acquired Laird Technologies' RF antenna portfolio. Confirm that the part number corresponds to the correct legacy branding and technical specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing N-type connectors and mounting brackets. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding material composition or performance tolerances before finalizing procurement orders.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this antenna when high gain is required for UHF frequencies in non-line-of-sight scenarios. The fixed cable length and bracket mount style dictate installation constraints. Consider the physical dimensions and weight relative to the mounting structure. Verify environmental ratings if deployed in harsh conditions, although the die-cast design offers inherent protection. Compare against other grid antennas if line-of-sight propagation is available, as directional options may offer different benefits.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the family of NLOS die-cast antennas originally developed by Laird Technologies, now integrated into the TE Connectivity portfolio. These antennas are engineered for reliable performance in challenging radio frequency environments where direct line-of-sight is obstructed. The series typically includes various gain levels and frequency bands, with the GD9-DC15-NF representing the 15dBi variant for the 900MHz spectrum.
