## **1. Introduction** 

The HA.31.A is an ISM 915MHz quarter wave-length monopole antenna. This helical coil antenna is perfect for your smart meter, smart security system, remote asset monitoring, and other wireless communication devices. 

The helical coil antenna has a 2dBi Peak gain and a 68% efficiency at 915MHz on a 126.8 x 80.1mm ground plane with matching components (orthogonally mounted to ground plane, see HAD.B.31 performance). 

Made of copper alloy, the helical coil is mechanically sturdy, with a wide-bandwidth. It can be easily mounted on the surface of your device main board by soldering. The antenna must be connected to a ground-plane to radiate efficiently.

Taoglas provides HAD.A.31 and HAD.B.31 evaluation boards to show performance when two antennas are parallel mounted or orthogonally mounted to the ground plane. Small embedded antennas can easily detune and/or have reduced efficiency in different device environments. Taoglas provides matching, and other custom tuning, design and support services, subject to MOQ and NRE. For further information on how to integrate this antenna into your device please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team.
