IPEX connector 868MHz patch antenna for Lora WAN applications

1. Ultra-Compact Design, Space-Saving Devices

Measuring only 29mm x 8mm, the antenna's ultra-thin patch design allows for easy integration into space-constrained IoT devices, portable terminals, and various embedded wireless modules, making it an ideal choice for miniaturized device designs.

2. Plug-and-Play, Easy Installation

Comes standard with a 150mm-long RF1.13 cable and a standard IPEX connector, it quickly connects to mainstream wireless communication modules (such as LoRa and Sigfox) on the market, enabling solder-free installation and significantly simplifying the production and assembly process.

3. Stable Performance, Efficient Transmission

Although its gain is approximately 0dBi in the 868MHz band, its voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is ≤2.0, ensuring efficient energy radiation and minimizing signal reflections, providing a stable and reliable connection for wireless data transmission.

4. Wide Operating Temperature Range, Suitable for Harsh Environments

With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it maintains stable electrical performance in both harsh outdoor environments and high-temperature conditions within equipment, meeting the demands of demanding industrial applications.

5. Flexible and Detachable for Easy Maintenance

The antenna features a detachable design. If the antenna or cable is damaged during transportation or use, it can be easily replaced without returning to the factory for repair, effectively reducing the cost and difficulty of future maintenance.
