Datasheet
## Datasheet ## ANT-916-WRT-ccc 915 MHz External Panel-Mount Antenna The ANT-916-WRT is a low-profile, panel-mount dipole antenna designed for low-power, wide-area (LPWA) applications including LoRaWAN[®] , remote controls, and ISM band applications in the 902 MHz to 930 MHz range. The ANT-916-WRT antenna’s compact size allows it to be mounted in applications requiring a low profile and external antenna performance, such as wireless vending and traffic control equipment. The ANT-916-WRT antenna is designed with an integrated counterpoise that eliminates the need for additional ground plane in the product, making it ideal for applications with non-conductive or RF transparent enclosures. Connector options for the ANT-916-WRT antenna are: SMA plug (male pin), RP-SMA plug (female socket) or MHF1/U.FL-type plug (female socket).

The ANT-916-WRT series antenna is supplied with an integrated closed-cell pressure sensitive adhesive ring which helps seal enclosures against external elements. The adhesive ring has a protective plastic backing that must be removed prior to installation. A pull tab has been provided for easy removal of the protective backing. The antenna can be permanently mounted using the provided nut which should be tightened to 4.0 kgf/cm (5 in/ lbs) max. The recommended maximum enclosure wall thickness is 4.70 mm (0.188 in). **==> picture [39 x 16] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Ø10.8 mm<br>(0.43 in)<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> Figure 2. ANT-916-WRT Series Antenna Recommended Enclosure Mounting Dimensions ## Antenna Orientation The ANT-916-WRT series antenna is characterized in two antenna orientations as shown in Figure 3. The antenna in free space characterizes use of an antenna attached to an enclosure-mounted connector which is connected by cable to a printed circuit board. Although the antenna is a dipole not requiring a ground plane for function, characterization with an adjacent ground plane (102 mm x 102 mm) provides insight into antenna performance when attached directly to a printed circuit board mounted connector. The two orientations represent the most common end-product use cases. **==> picture [305 x 10] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Free Space Center of Ground Plane<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> Figure 3.

Figure 4. ANT-916-WRT in Free Space, No Ground Plane ## VSWR Figure 5 provides the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across the antenna bandwidth. VSWR describes the power reflected from the antenna back to the radio. A lower VSWR value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency.
