Datasheet
## **ANT-LTE-MON-SMA-L** ## **Enhanced Low-Band LTE Connectorized Monopole Whip Antenna** The MON-L antenna is a member of Linx’s LTE-MON family of compact rotatable hinged-whip antennas which offer optimized support for a wide range of cellular LTE and IoT applications. The MON-L antenna provides excellent multiband cellular and cellular IoT performance. It offers better VSWR at the lower LTE frequency bands, including LTE Band 71 (617 MHz to 698 MHz), on a smaller ground plane than competitive products. This equates to better range in a smaller product design. The hinged design allows for the antenna to be positioned for optimum performance and reduces the potential for damage from impact compared to a fixed whip design. ## **FEATURES** - Enhanced low-band coverage (LTE B71) – Efficiency: 73% - – VSWR: ≤ 3.3 – Peak Gain: 3.4 dBi - • Covers all common LTE/4G/3G/2G bands • Hinged for optimum positioning • Small, unobtrusive profile, 78.7 mm long - Extended temperature range to 130 °C - SMA plug (male pin) ## **APPLICATIONS** - Cellular IoT: LTE-M (Cat-M1) and NB-IoT – T-Mobile: band 71 – AT&T: bands 12, 14, 17 - – Verizon: band 13 – Europe: bands 8, 20 - – Latin America: bands 5, 28 - – Asia Pacific: bands 5, 8, 20, 28 - • Worldwide LTE, UMTS and GSM • Low-power, wide-area (LPWA) applications - LoRaWAN® - – Sigfox® - • Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) - ISM: Bluetooth® and ZigBee® - FirstNet® Public Safety - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Gateways ## **ORDERING INFORMATION** Part Number Description ANT-LTE-MON-SMA-L Antenna with SMA plug (male pin) Available from Linx Technologies and select distributors and representatives.

The size and location of the ground plane relative to the antenna will affect the overall performance of the antenna in the final design. When used in conjunction with a ground plane smaller than that used to tune the antenna, the center frequency typically will shift higher in frequency and the bandwidth will decrease. The proximity of other circuit elements and packaging near the antenna will also affect the final performance. For further discussion and guidance on the importance of the ground plane counterpoise, please refer to Linx Application Note, _AN-00501: Understanding Antenna Specifications and Operation._ **==> picture [391 x 9] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> On edge of ground plane, straight On edge of ground plane, bent 90 degrees<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> Figure 2.

Figure 3. ANT-LTE-MON-SMA-L on Edge of Ground Plane, Straight (Edge-Straight) ## **VSWR** Figure 4 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. Reflected power is also shown on the right-side vertical axis as a gauge of the percentage of transmitter power reflected back from the antenna. **==> picture [459 x 228] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> 5<br>40<br>| ao<br>4<br>30<br>a =o<br>3<br>20<br>a<br>2<br>|He 10<br>1 0<br>600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 2200 2400 2600 2800 3000 3200 3400 3600 3800<br>Frequency (MHz)<br>617 698 803 960 1710 2200 2300 2400 2496 2690 3300 3800<br>VSWR<br>Reflected Power (%)<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> Figure 4.

Antenna radiation patterns for an edge straight orientation are shown in Figure 9 using polar plots covering 360 degrees. The antenna graphic at the top of the page provides reference to the plane of the column of plots below it. Note: when viewed with typical PDF viewing software, zooming into radiation patterns is possible to reveal fine detail. ## **RADIATION PATTERNS - EDGE OF GROUND PLANE, STRAIGHT** **==> picture [45 x 5] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> XZ-Plane Gain<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **==> picture [45 x 5] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> YZ-Plane Gain<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> XY-Plane Gain ## **610 MHz TO 700 MHz (660 MHz)** **==> picture [463 x 166] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> 1 1 1<br>35 36 5 2 3 35 36 5 2 3 35 36 5 2 3<br>34 0 4 34 0 4 34 0 4<br>33 -5 5 33 -5 5 33 -5 5<br>-10 -10 -10<br>32 -15 6 32 -15 6 32 -15 6<br>31 -20 7 31 -20 7 31 -20 7<br>-25 -25 -25<br>30 -30 8 30 -30 8 30 -30 8<br>-35 -35 -35<br>29 -40 9 29 -40 9 29 -40 9<br>-45 -45 -45<br>28 -50 10 28 -50 10 28 -50 10<br>27 11 27 nn ees EP} ah | jj 11 27 | tt] WIZE AEE | | 11<br>NY Li DoE OL ee [|]<br>26 12 26 12 26 12<br>25 13 25 13 25 13<br>24 14 24 14 24 14<br>23 15 23 15 23 15<br>22 16 22 16 22 16 610 MHz<br>21 20 18 17 21 20 18 17 21 20 18 17 660 MHz<br>19 19 19 700 MHz<br>XZ-Plane Gain YZ-Plane Gain XY-Plane Gain<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## **700 MHz TO 800 MHz (750 MHz)** **==> picture [463 x 159] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> 1 1 1<br>35 36 5 2 3 35 36 5 2 3 35 36 5 2 3<br>34 0 4 34 0 4 34 0 4<br>33 -5 5 33 -5 5 33 -5 5<br>-10 -10 -10<br>32 -15 6 32 -15 6 32 -15 6<br>31 -20 7 31 -20 7 31 -20 7<br>f.WeXXSLT -25 SKS \ Ta,seTINS -25 YON 4GEP= -25 — ISS<br>30 -30 8 30 -30 8 30 -30 8<br>-35 -35 -35<br>29 -40 9 29 -40 9 29 -40 9<br>-45 -45 -45<br>28 -50 10 28 -50 10 28 -50 10<br>27 11 27 11 27 11<br>26 12 26 12 26 12<br>25 13 25 13 25 13<br>24 14 24 14 24 14<br>23 15 23 15 23 15<br>22 16 22 16 22 16 690 MHz<br>21 20 18 17 21 20 18 17 21 20 18 17 750 MHz<br>19 19 19 800 MHz<br>XZ-Plane Gain YZ-Plane Gain XY-Plane Gain<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> DATA AND DEVICES / ANT-LTE-MON-SMA-L 7 ## **RADIATION PATTERNS -

Figure 10. ANT-LTE-MON-SMA-L on Edge of Ground Plane, Bent 90 Degrees (Edge-Bent) ## **VSWR** Figure 11 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. Reflected power is also shown on the right-side vertical axis as a gauge of the percentage of transmitter power reflected back from the antenna. **==> picture [459 x 228] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> 5<br>40<br>| (a<br>4 =o<br>30<br>3<br>le 20<br>2<br>10<br>a A]<br>Nee<br>1 0<br>600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 2200 2400 2600 2800 3000 3200 3400 3600 3800<br>Frequency (MHz)<br>617 698 803 960 1710 2200 2300 2400 2496 2690 3300 3800<br>VSWR<br>Reflected Power (%)<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> Figure 11.

Antenna radiation patterns for a bent 90 degree orientation are shown in Figure 16 using polar plots covering 360 degrees. The antenna graphic at the top of the page provides reference to the plane of the column of plots below it.
