Product Brief ANT-LTE-MON-SMA-E LTE Cellular and GPS/GNSS Connectorized Monopole Whip Antenna The MON-E antenna is a member of Linxs LTE- MON family of compact rotatable hinged-whip antennas which offer optimized support for a wide range of LTE cellular, LPWA and IoT applications. The MON-E antenna provides excellent multiband cellular and cellular IoT performance, providing outstanding gain in the 700 MHz to 800 MHz LTE bands such as LTE 8, 12, 13, 14, 17 and 20 and including LoRaWAN bands at 868 MHz and 915 MHz. The MON-E may also be used for GPS/ GNSS applications alone or with other frequency bands. The hinged design allows for the antenna to be positioned for optimum performance and reduces the potential for damage from impact compared to a fixed whip design. Features Applications Optimized for 698 MHz to 960 MHz LTE with Cellular IoT: LTE-M (Cat-M1) and NB-IoT GPS/GNSS and Bluetooth support AT&T: bands 12, 14, 17 Enhanced low-band coverage including LTE 5, Verizon: band 13 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 20, and 28 Europe: bands 8, 20 Efficiency: 83% Latin America: bands 5, 28 VSWR: 2.2 Asia Pacific: bands 5, 8, 20, 28 Peak Gain: 4.5 dBi Worldwide LTE and GSM (4G, 3G, 2G) Covers all common LTE/4G/3G/2G bands Low-power, wide-area (LPWA) applications Hinged for optimum positioning LoRaWAN Small, unobtrusive profile, 71.0 mm long Sigfox Extended temperature range to 130 C Global Navigation (GNSS) SMA plug (male pin) GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou ISM: Bluetooth and ZigBee FirstNet Public Safety Internet of Things (IoT) devices Gateways Ordering Information Part Number Description ANT-LTE-MON-SMA-E Antenna with SMA plug (male pin) Available from Linx Technologies and select distributors and representatives.ANT-LTE-MON-SMA-E Product Brief Electrical Specifications ANT-LTE-MON-SMA-E Frequency Range VSWR (max.)

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. 7 50 6 40 5 30 4 20 3 10 2 1 0 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 2200 2400 2600 2800 3000 3200 3400 3600 3800 Frequency (MHz) Figure 1.
