nSP250 nanoSplatch® Antennas

The nanoSplatch® nSP250 is a surface-mount antenna for embedded WiFi/WLAN and other 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz ISM or U-NII frequency band applications. It uses a grounded-line technique to achieve outstanding performance in a tiny surface-mount package. The nSP250 exhibits low proximity effect with a very hemispherical radiation pattern, making it ideal for handheld devices and applications typically subject to interference.
 
The nSP250 is available in tape and reel packaging and is designed for reflow-solder mounting directly to a printed circuit board for high-volume applications.

PW Series Antennas

PW Series antennas are rugged panel-mount monopole external antennas suitable for metal and plastic enclosures with appropriate ground plane. They target a broad range of solutions in low-power wide-area (LPWA) networks, LTE cellular, and industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) frequency band applications. With just a single frequency range to manage, PW Series single-band antennas make the job of antenna selection simple and, for LTE cellular applications, typically outperform multiband counterparts over desired frequencies and reject signals from unwanted frequencies.

 

PW Series LTE band antennas are useful in single-band LTE-M (Cat-M1) and NB-IoT cellular IoT solutions and are easy to select using the antenna number corresponding to the target LTE band (e.g. LTE Band 13 applications use ANT-B13-PW-QW-UFL). The LTE Band 14 antenna supports FirstNet® Public Safety applications in the United States and many of the LTE antennas also support legacy UMTS and GSM cellular frequencies.

 

LoRaWAN® and SIGFOX® low-power wide-area (LPWA) solutions may use the 433 MHz, 490 MHz, 868 MHz and 916 MHz PW antennas depending on application and region. The 433 MHz and 916 MHz antennas also support ISM applications, along with the 2.4 GHz antenna which is suitable for Bluetooth® and ZigBee® solutions.
