5G no ground plane required antennas for IoT applications

Mouser now offers the 5G Phantom no ground plane required antennas from TE Connectivity/Laird External Antennas. The antennas supply engineers with a versatile global cellular antenna option for IoT, freight and transportation environments, and public safety applications.

These antennas cover 617MHz to 7125MHz or 698MHz to 7125MHz frequency bands without requiring a fixed ground plane, even for regions where lower 600MHz bands are needed. These antennas deliver global cellular coverage in a tamper-resistant, direct-mount, threaded stud with exceptional quality and an integrated N-female connector for tamper-resistant installation.

The antenna's direct coaxial connection supplies consistent performance, even at higher frequencies, avoiding performance losses of other mounting methods. Minimum gain ripple around horizon and uniform azimuth patterns decrease the chance of signal dropouts while delivering consistency and minimal shifting gain. The 5G Phantom series provides high levels of efficiency, over 95% up to 4200MHz, and gain up to 8dBi. These rugged antennas also provide a tamper-resistant and highly durable IP67-rated enclosure and UL 94 flammability rating, making them excellent for harsh environments.
