## **PRODUCT DIMENSIONS** 

Figure 1 provides dimensions of the ANT-8/9-IPW1SMA. The antenna whip can be tilted 90 degrees, with a detent at 45 degrees enabling the antenna to be oriented in any direction. The rotating base allows for continuous positioning through 360 degrees even while installed. 

## **ANTENNA MOUNTING** 

The remote adhesive-mount VDP industrial series antenna mounts permanently to non-conductive surfaces using the integrated adhesive patch. The mounting surface should be clean, dry and free of oil residue for ideal adhesion. 

## **PACKAGING INFORMATION** 

The VDP industrial series antennas are packaged in bags of 50. Distribution channels may offer alternative packaging options.

## **VSWR** 

Figure 2 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.

## **RETURN LOSS** 

Return loss (Figure 3), represents the loss in power at the antenna due to reflected signals. Like VSWR, a lower return loss value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency.

## **PEAK GAIN** 

The peak gain across the antenna bandwidth is shown in Figure 4. Peak gain represents the maximum antenna input power concentration across 3-dimensional space, and therefore peak performance at a given frequency, but does not consider any directionality in the gain pattern.

## **RADIATION EFFICIENCY** 

Radiation efficiency (Figure 6), shows the ratio of power delivered to the antenna relative to the power radiated at the antenna, expressed as a percentage, where a higher percentage indicates better performance at a given frequency.

## **RADIATION PATTERNS** 

Radiation patterns provide information about the directionality and 3-dimensional gain performance of the antenna by plotting gain at specific frequencies in three orthogonal planes. Antenna radiation patterns are shown in Figure 7 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.

## **ANTENNA DEFINITIONS AND USEFUL FORMULAS** 

VSWR - Voltage Standing Wave Ratio. VSWR is a unitless ratio that describes the power reflected from the antenna back to the radio. A lower VSWR value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency. VSWR is easily derived from Return Loss. 

|VSWR =|10|Return Loss<br>20<br>+ 1|
|---|---|---|
||<br>10|Return  Loss<br>20<br>−1|
|||20|



Return Loss - Return loss represents the loss in power at the antenna due to reflected signals, measured in decibels. A lower return loss value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency. Return Loss is easily derived from VSWR. 

## VSWR −1 Return Loss = −20 log10 VSWR + 1 

Efficiency ( **η** ) - The total power radiated from an antenna divided by the input power at the feed point of the antenna as a percentage. 

Total Radiated Efficiency - (TRE) The total efficiency of an antenna solution comprising the radiation efficiency of the antenna and the transmitted (forward) efficiency from the transmitter.

Gain - The ratio of an antenna’s efficiency in a given direction (G) to the power produced by a theoretical lossless (100% efficient) isotropic antenna. The gain of an antenna is almost always expressed in decibels.

Peak Gain - The highest antenna gain across all directions for a given frequency range. A directional antenna will have a very high peak gain compared to average gain. 

Average Gain - The average gain across all directions for a given frequency range. 

Maximum Power - The maximum signal power which may be applied to an antenna feed point, typically measured in watts (W). 

Reflected Power - A portion of the forward power reflected back toward the amplifier due to a mismatch at the antenna port. 

VSWR −1 2 VSWR + 1 

decibel (dB) - A logarithmic unit of measure of the power of an electrical signal. 

decibel isotropic (dBi) - A comparative measure in decibels between an antenna under test and an isotropic radiator. decibel relative to a dipole (dBd) - A comparative measure in decibels between an antenna under test and an ideal half-wave dipole. 

Dipole - An ideal dipole comprises a straight electrical conductor measuring 1/2 wavelength from end to end connected at the center to a feed point for the radio. 

Isotropic Radiator - A theoretical antenna which radiates energy equally in all directions as a perfect sphere. Omnidirectional - Term describing an antenna radiation pattern that is uniform in all directions. An isotropic antenna is the theoretical perfect omnidirectional antenna. An ideal dipole antenna has a donut- shaped radiation pattern and other practical antenna implementations will have less perfect but generally omnidirectional radiation patterns which are typically plotted on three axes.
