TE Connectivity / Linx Technologies CW-RCL SMA Right-Angle Whip Antennas
TE Connectivity's (TE) Linx Technologies CW-RCL SMA Right-Angle Whip Antennas offer wide bandwidth, a reduced height, and a right-angle rotating design that allows the antenna to be positioned for optimum performance. These durable devices feature a compact size that measures 97.7mm x 18.7mm x 10.5mm and weighs 12.5g or 13g. A weatherized jacket protects the antennas from harsh weather conditions. TE Linx CW-RCL SMA Right-Angle Whip Antennas are available at 868MHz, 916MHz, and 2.4GHz with SMA connectors. The 916MHz and 2.4GHz antennas are also available with an FCC Part 15-compliant RP-SMA connector. Electrical specifications include ≤1.5 to ≤1.9 voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), 2.3dBi to 4.1dBi peak gain, up to 77% efficiency, and 50Ω impedance. These antennas are suitable for BLUETOOTH®, ZigBee®, LoRaWAN®, and Sigfox®, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart home networking, ISM band applications, and more.
