WBTR3060 Wideband 3-6 GHz compact terminal antenna

The WBTR3060 Wideband 3-6 GHz is a compact terminal antenna designed to complement UWB modules. Markets for UWB include ePOS and retail, automotive, agriculture, building control and automation, factory automation, healthcare, safety and security, warehousing and logistics. The WBTR3060 antenna can be terminal mounted via an SMA-Male connector to provide a flexible antenna solution.

With gain ranging from 2.3 dBi to 3.72 dBi across the 3.0 to 6.0 GHz bandwidth and VSWR of less than 2.5:1, the WBTR3060 Wideband 3-6 GHz antenna offers exceptional performance in a small package. Its hinged connector locks in the three positions allowing the radiating element to be vertically or horizontally positioned. It is also groundplane independent so a metal groundplane for mounting is not required.

Band 71 LTE antenna WTR6138 introduced by EAD

EAD has today introduced a Band 71 LTE antenna covering the 617 MHz to 3800 MHz frequencies. The WTR6138 is designed for mounting directly onto a router, modem or gateway.

As EAD’s first terminal antenna that covers Band 71 starting at 617 MHz, the WTR6138 is our widest bandwidth antenna covering the LTE frequencies across 700 to 2700 MHz. It also supports European 5G frequencies across the 3400-3800 MHz. With compact dimensions and a length of 171mm, this antenna offers consistent performance across the bands with a peak gain ranging from just under 1 dBi at the lowest band and 4 dBi in the higher bands.

The antenna is terminated in SMA-Male plug connector and is designed for direct mounting to a panel mounted SMA-Female connector.

For pricing and availability, please contact EAD or your local EAD distributor or reseller.

M2MAC-UF-XX-SFP UFL SMA-Female Panel Mount Adapter

The M2MAC-UF-XX-SFP UFL SMA-Female panel mount adapter cable enables the connector of a SMA-Male terminated external antenna to an enclosure housing a U.FL radio module. Using a Hirose U.FL plug at one end to connect to the radio, the SMA-Female panel mount connector is mounted via a hole in the wall of the enclosure. A terminal antenna such as the WTR6138 or the BT-Stubby antenna will then mate directly to the SMA-Female connector.

The cable length is configurable so for example M2MAC-UF-10-SFP has a cable length of 100mm. The M2MAC-UF-20-SFP has a cable length of 200mm. However the M2MAC-UF-XX-SFP UFL SMA-Female can be customised with any required cable length.

For European customers, small quantities of the M2MAC-UF-10-SFP can be purchased via the Connex webshop.

WTR6138 Wideband LTE 5G Terminal Omni Antenna

The WTR6138 Wideband LTE 5G terminal omni antenna is a compact solution for routers, modems and gateways. With robust RF operation from 617 MHz to 3800 MHz, the WTR6138 is an effective antenna for 5G and LTE applications.

With a peak gain of approximately 1 dBi to 4 dBi across the frequency bands and an minimum efficiency of 50% on all bands, this antenna offers consistent performance across a wide bandwidth, despite measuring only 171mm in length. Terminated in a SMA-Male connector as standard, the WTR6138 is designed to mount directly onto the RF terminal, router or modem. Other connectors including RP-SMA, TNC-Male and FME-Female are also possible.

This antenna would be ideal for commercial and industrial applications including wireless security and CCTV, remote video applications, wireless kiosk and info terminals and for 5G/LTE access gateways.

For pricing and availability on the WTR6138 Wideband LTE 5G antenna, please contact your local distributor or EAD.

Use in conjunction with our RF adapters when connecting to a module inside an enclosure.

 

 

ISM band terminal antennas overview

When selecting ISM-band and LoRa terminal antennas, there are many options for your application. Download our ISM band terminal antennas overview here:

ISM Antennas

If you are mounting antennas directly onto a terminal or enclosure using 169 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 MHz or 915 MHz, then the flyer has some suggestions for antenna choices. Our portfolio is not limited to these antennas and we have a full range for terminal antennas through to high gain omni antennas like the DMO8684 or the WMO8685.

The 169 MHz antennas are used for the European licence-free metering band at 169 MHz and we can offer terminal or wall-mount antennas at this frequency.

Four 433 MHz terminal antennas for ISM bands

Focusing on 433 MHz frequencies, we present here four 433 MHz terminal antennas for ISM band applications. Many 433 MHz applications require a terminal mounted antenna, typically with a SMA-Male connector. EAD offers a number of interesting solutions for ISM licence-free frequencies and we summarise them here.

WR/WS433 – 433 MHz stub antenna

The WR433 and WS433 antennas are compact quarter wave, groundplane dependent stub antennas. Requiring a groundplane (metal mounting surface) to operate efficiently, the WR433 and WS433 are usually terminated in a SMA-Male connector. Containing a 1/4 wave coil, the antenna element is housed in robust and durable acetal sheath.

433 MHz captive mount antenna

The W433-FLY is a captive-mount 1/4 wave whip antenna with flying lead. The design enables the antenna to be integrated into the wall of an enclosure and the cable fed inside to the radio. As standard the cable is RG174 for a SMA, RP-SMA or MMCX connector, however it can be offered with a U.FL flying lead for radios mounted with U.FL receptacles. The W433-FLY does require a groundplane to operate effectively.

433 MHz quarter-wave helical antenna

The MH433 is a quarter-wave moulded helical antenna usually terminated in SMA-Male connector. Requiring a groundplane to operate effectively, the MH433 is compact whilst retaining some flexibility which is especially helpful in mobile applications. Other frequencies and connectors based on this design are possible, please contact us for more information.

433 MHz groundplane independent whip antenna

The FEW433 is a 433 MHz whip antenna that doesn’t require a groundplane to operate. Based around a moulded sheath, the FEW433 is flexible, however offers robust performance. It is available with the SMA-Male or TNC-Male connector as standard although a RP-SMA connector is also possible.

Four 433 MHz terminal antennas for ISM bands

These antennas are not the only 433 MHz antenna options available from EAD. We can also offer wall-mount or 1/4 wave whip antennas. If you do not see what you need, please use our antenna configurator to determine your requirement.
