FAQ
What frequency bands does this antenna support?
The antenna supports four frequency ranges: 698MHz to 960MHz, 1710MHz to 2170MHz, 2396MHz to 2700MHz, and 3400MHz to 3800MHz. This multiband coverage enables compatibility with 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G cellular networks, making it versatile for various wireless applications.
What is the gain of this antenna and how does it affect performance?
The antenna has a gain of 5 dBi (isotropic), which enhances signal strength in its omni-directional radiation pattern. This gain helps improve reception and transmission distances without requiring directional alignment, making it effective for broad coverage areas in router and cellular setups.
What type of connector does this antenna use?
It uses an SMA connector, a common RF interface that provides a secure and reliable connection for antennas. This connector type is widely compatible with routers, cellular modems, and other networking equipment, ensuring easy integration and stable signal transfer.
Is this antenna omni-directional or directional?
This antenna is omni-directional, meaning it radiates and receives signals equally in all horizontal directions (360-degree pattern). This design simplifies installation by eliminating the need for precise pointing, making it ideal for applications where signals come from multiple directions or for general coverage enhancement.
What are the physical dimensions of this antenna?
The antenna measures 0.87 inches (22 mm) in width and 0.28 inches (7 mm) in depth. Its compact, paddle-shaped form factor allows for discreet mounting in space-constrained environments, and the black finish helps it blend into various settings without being obtrusive.
What is the VSWR rating and why is it important?
The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is less than 3:1, indicating efficient power transfer from the connected device to the antenna with minimal signal reflection. A lower VSWR improves performance by reducing signal loss and potential interference, ensuring reliable operation in demanding wireless environments.
