New ultracompact whip antennas for sub-1GHz and LPWA applications

Linx Technologies, now part of TE Connectivity, has introduced four ultracompact whip-style antennas created for Sub-1GHz and low-power, wide-area applications incorporating LoRaWAN, IoT, remote controls, sensing and monitoring, smart home networking, and ISM band applications.

The ANT-915-NUB and ANT-868-NUB variants are rugged monopole antennas with a length smaller than 20mm. Each may be employed with metallic and non-metallic enclosures and connects utilising an SMA plug (male pin) or RP-SMA plug (female socket) connector.

"Our NUB series antennas offer an ultra-compact, convenient and lower cost option, making them especially well suited for IoT devices," said Rick Stuby, VP of Product Management.
