Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the PIS-0387 designation to ensure correct 470 MHz frequency alignment. Confirm the presence of the SMA connector type during inspection. Check for physical integrity of the antenna element prior to installation. Ensure compatibility with the host module's RF port specifications.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated external antenna is required for LoRa devices operating near 470 MHz. The 5.8 dBi gain offers improved range compared to standard internal antennas. The 50 Ohm impedance ensures proper matching with common LoRa transceivers. Consider the 20 Watt rating for environments requiring higher transmission power stability.

Antennas RF Part Context

This antenna belongs to Pi Supply's accessory lineup for Raspberry Pi and single-board computer ecosystems. It complements development boards like the PIS-1031 or similar LoRa modules by providing enhanced RF performance. The product serves as a peripheral component rather than a standalone processing unit, focusing solely on radio frequency signal propagation.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for direct replacement. Users should verify that any alternative antenna matches the 470 MHz frequency, 5.8 dBi gain, and SMA connector interface to maintain system compatibility.
