MM-ANT-NM-868-3DBI

Rfid Antennas Overview

The MM-ANT-NM-868-3DBI is an omni-directional antenna manufactured by McGill Microwave Systems, designed for operation within the 865 MHz to 870 MHz frequency range. It provides a maximum gain of 3 dBi and features an N-Type Male connector interface. The physical dimensions are specified as 20.00 mm in diameter and 300.00 mm in height. Horizontal beamwidth is 360°, while vertical beamwidth is 56° +/- 1°. The unit is RoHS compliant and lead-free.

Rfid Antennas Feature Summary

• Omni-directional radiation pattern with 360-degree horizontal coverage
• Optimized for EU868 ISM band operations
• Compact cylindrical design suitable for outdoor mounting

Rfid Antennas Applications

• Helium network deployments in Europe
• LoRaWAN IoT sensor nodes
• Meshtastic mesh networking systems

Rfid Antennas Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required connector type (N-Type Male) and frequency range (865-870 MHz). Confirm RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your project specifications. Ensure mechanical fitment for the 20mm diameter and 300mm height constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Rfid Antennas Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile, omni-directional solution is required for sub-GHz ISM bands. It is appropriate for applications needing moderate gain without the bulk of higher-gain directional antennas. Consider the N-Type Male interface compatibility with existing coaxial cabling and device ports during system integration planning.

Rfid Antennas Part Context

This component belongs to the McGill Microwave Systems antenna portfolio, which includes various RF solutions for industrial and IoT sectors. It is distinct from other models like the 13dBi LoRa panel antenna or RFID variants due to its specific 3dBi gain profile and omni-directional form factor tailored for wide-area coverage.

Rfid Antennas Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MM-ANT-NM-868-3DBI-RFID variant, which shares identical electrical specifications but may differ in branding or packaging. No other direct functional equivalents are publicly confirmed; alternative models typically offer different gain levels or connector types.
