Product Brief ID Industrial Series 868 MHz Remote-Mount Dipole Whip Antenna The ID series industrial dipole antennas are designed for rugged outdoor applications and are rated for a wide temperature range and UV exposure for long- term reliability. The 868 MHz ID antenna is designed for sub-1 GHz and low-power, wide-area (LPWA) applications including LoRaWAN , Sigfox , and other unlicensed ISM bands in the 862 MHz to 876 MHz range. The antenna can be mounted using the integrated mounting flange with 2 screws for permanent installation or with the optional adhesive patch. The antenna connects via RG-58/U coaxial cable in lengths of 1 or 2 meters which allows the antenna to be remote-mounted for optimal RF performance, and is terminated with an SMA plug (male pin) connector. Features Applications Performance at 862 MHz to 876 MHz Low-power, wide-area (LPWA) applications VSWR: 1.8 LoRaWAN Peak Gain: 0.9 dBi Sigfox Efficiency: 55% ISM band applications Weatherized assembly for outdoor installation Internet of Things (IoT) devices Antenna rated IP-67 Smart Home networking UV protection, UL 2556 Section 4.2.8.5 or Security systems equivalent Home weather stations Low-profile antenna with Integrated mounting Remote sensing, monitoring and control flange Industrial machinery SMA plug (male pin) connector AMR (automated meter reading) Ordering Information Part Number Description ANT-868-ID-1000-SMA Antenna with 1 m of RG-58/U coaxial cable, terminated in an SMA plug (male pin) ANT-868-ID-2000-SMA Antenna with 2 m of RG-58/U coaxial cable, terminated in an SMA plug (male pin) MEC-PSA-ID Optional adhesive patch Available from Linx Technologies and select distributors and representatives.ID Industrial Series Product Brief ANT-868-ID Electrical Specifications ANT-868-ID 868 MHz Frequency Range 862 MHz to 876 MHz VSWR (max) 1.8 Peak Gain (dBi) 0.9 Average Gain (dBi) -2.7 Efficiency (%) 55 Cable RG-58/U in 1 m (39.37 in) or 2 m (78.74 in) length Connection SMA plug (male pin) Impedance 50 Polarization Linear Wavelength 1/2-wave Electrical Type Dipole Radiation Omnidirectional Max Power 10 W Dimensions Length: 109.6 mm (4.31 in), Diameter: 9.5 mm (0.37 in) Weight 59.4 g (2.10 oz) or 97.9 g (3.45 oz) Operating Temp. Range -40 C to +80 C VSWR Figure 1 provides the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across the antenna bandwidth. VSWR describes the power reflected from the antenna back to the radio. A lower VSWR value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency. Reflected power is also shown on the right-side vertical axis as a gauge of the percentage of transmitter power reflected back from the antenna. 5 40 4 30 3 20 2 10 1 0 858 863 868 873 878 Frequency (MHz) Figure 1.
