Antenna offers high performance at 868 MHz ISM frequency

The ANT-868-JJB-ST from TE Connectivity is a dome antenna which offers long life and a robust mounting arrangement for use in IoT and industrial products such as scanners and energy meters.

TE Connectivity supplies a wide range of antennas for use in the licence-free industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) frequency band. The TE portfolio includes:

  • Embedded or internal antennas for short-range communications
  • Remote, dipole and terminal-mount external antennas for mid-range communication
  • Outdoor-rated external antennas for long-range communication

The attributes of the TE antennas for ISM frequencies include durability, modularity, miniaturization, high bandwidth, and high EMI/grounding performance.

 

A notable example of the TE antennas for ISM frequencies is the ANT-868-JJB-ST, a dome/puck antenna for 868 MHz communications. This single-band antenna for LoRaWAN and LPWAN applications is intended for internal use, embedded in a host device. It has a through-hole/tab-mount arrangement.

 

Providing an omnidirectional radiation pattern, the single-port ANT-868-JJB-ST offers maximum gain of less than 0 dBi.
