Antenna 824-960MHz 1710-1990MHz 3dBi OmniDirectional Dipole w/ RP-SMA, SMA or FME

Antenna for GSM, ISM, LTE applications: Omni-Directional dipole antenna for cellular phone bands 824-960 MHz and 1710-1990 MHz. These bands are used for GSM, ISM & LTE: 4G networks (AT&T Mobility, Verizon and others) .

Connector options: SMA-male, RP-SMA-male, or FME-female:

• RP-SMA used for For WiFi and CDMA applications, while SMA is used for 4G/3G/2G applications.
• Mounts directly onto SMA-female, RP-SMA-female connector, or FME male connector
• See also 2dBi GSM antenna for 860-960 (lower cost).

Suitable for the following wireless standards & applications: 

• Compatible with Helium Network miners / devices, as are all antennas in our Helium Antennas subcategory 
  • Helium accessory items directory: Antennas, cables & mounts for range-extension of Helium miners (including Bobcat miner) and  LoRaWAN access points.
• LoRa / LoRaWAN.
• 900MHz ISM Band. Can also be made to operate on other VHF and UHF frequencies within the ISM frequency bands.
• Non Line of Sight (NLOS): 900 MHz band is best for passing through trees and forests.

This omni directional antenna's range of frequency band compatibility in the 824-960 MHz and 1710-1990MHz frequency band range, its low broadband VSWR, and impedance matching to 50 Ohm gear, makes it suitable and compliant for all the above applications.

• As access point antenna: Provides signal to clients in any direction (360-degree horizontal beamwidth)
• As client antenna: Connect to an access point in any direction.
• Capable of extending your wireless range up to 300 meters.

Data Alliance's high-quality soldered terminations of RP-SMA, SMA and FME connectors with soldering provide a low-loss connection with discontinuities kept to a minimum.

ROHS & REACH compliant: Antenna, cable and connector are all complaint with ROHS 3 and REACH.

*[Better radiation efficiency than the AD3RAv2]

The key performance difference between the two models AD3RA and AD3RAv2 is the lower VSWR of AD3RA: VSWR tells you how much power is reflected back from the antenna to the transmitter.

• Lower VSWR (of AD3RA) means that more more power is reflected back towards the transmitter
• Higher VSWR (of AD3RA2) means that AD3RAv2 has more non-relected power than AD3RA

RP-SMA and SMA Connector Characteristics:

• RP-SMA = Reverse Polarity SMA. Also known as SMA-RP, SMA-R, SMA RP, SMA R.
• RP-SMA and SMA gender is counter-intuitive: The gender is referring to the pins inside-not the threads. RP-SMA male have threads on the inside. More details regarding RP-SMA gender determination 
• RP-SMA-male and SMA are also called "plugs" and the respective female connectors are also called "jacks".
  
• RP-SMA and SMA are round screw-type connectors, with medium-sized, threaded coupling connectors that are rated for frequencies from the lowest (DC) up to 18GHz.
• Composition
• Connector Body: Brass, Gold Plated for low loss. Precision-machined.
• Center Contact: Beryllium Copper, Gold Plated
• Crimp Ferrule: Copper, Nickel Plated
• Insulators: PTFE
• We offer an SMA wrench to assist in installing antennas, cables and adapters with SMA or RP-SMA connector(s).
• SMA-male connector fits items that have an SMA (female) jack/connector.
• Articulating (Bendable) Right Angle: This antenna can be angled up to 90 degrees (articulating right angle) or positioned straight. The articulating (bendable) right-angle isn’t weatherproof: Water can seep into the angled part of the antenna. Articulating right-angle antennas are therefore recommendable for indoor use or protected outdoors, i.e. under an eave. If you need a weatherproof dipole antenna, you should choose either a straight dipole or one with a fixed right angle. See our weatherproof antennas.
