PE51RD1026

Antennas RF Overview

The PE51RD1026 is a rubber duck antenna manufactured by Pasternack, designed for operation within the 900-930 MHz frequency range. It features an SMA connector interface and provides a gain of 5 dBi. Classified under the Omni-Directional Antennas series, this component utilizes a flexible rubber construction typical of portable antenna designs. The unit weighs approximately 59 grams and is packaged in bulk quantities.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Omni-directional radiation pattern for consistent signal coverage
• Flexible rubber duck design suitable for portable applications
• SMA connector interface for standard RF integration

Antennas RF Applications

• Portable radio communication systems
• Wireless data transmission devices
• Industrial monitoring equipment

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and cable length requirements against system specifications before ordering. Confirm that the 900-930 MHz operational bandwidth aligns with the target application's frequency needs. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware due to the rubber duck form factor.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, flexible antenna is required for handheld or mobile devices operating in the sub-GHz band. Consider the 5 dBi gain as sufficient for short-range communications where size constraints limit larger antenna options. Evaluate the weight and durability of the rubber housing for intended environmental conditions.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of omni-directional antennas, specifically the rubber duck category. It shares design characteristics with other models in the series but is distinct in its specific frequency tuning and connector configuration. The product represents a standard solution for general-purpose wireless connectivity.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

PE51RD1012: Offers identical 5 dBi gain and SMA connector but operates in the same 900-930 MHz range; verify if physical dimensions differ. PE51RD1030: Provides multi-band coverage from 615-7,150 MHz with lower gain (3.5 dBi); suitable if broader frequency support is needed at the cost of peak performance.
