Linx Technologies RF Antennas ANT-490-PW-QW

The ANT-490-PW-QW is a 490 MHz monopole antenna designed for applications such as LoRaWAN and GSM-480. It operates within a frequency range of 470 MHz to 510 MHz, featuring a peak gain of 1.3 dBi at its center frequency of 490 MHz. The antenna exhibits a low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of ,⧠1.5:1, indicating efficient performance. Constructed for durability, the antenna has a flexible main shaft and is suitable for both plastic and metal enclosures. It is weather-resistant, making it appropriate for outdoor applications, although the use of an O-ring is recommended for guaranteed IP ratings. The ANT-490-PW-QW can handle a maximum power of 10 W and operates effectively across a wide bandwidth. The antenna is available with either a 216 mm unterminated RG-174 coax cable or a version with a U.FL jack connector. Its compact size and lightweight design (25.2 g) make it suitable for various devices, including IoT applications and remote monitoring systems.
