Datasheet CW Series 450 MHz Single-Band Monopole LTE/5G Antenna CW Series antennas are rugged, low-cost and easy to install. The single frequency band of CW antennas makes the job of antenna selection simple, with better performance in the target frequency band than in multiband antennas and rejection of signals from unwanted frequencies. The CW 450 antenna targets 450 MHz to 470 MHz with excellent VSWR, gain and efficiency for LTE and 5G NR bands 72 and 73. This rugged 1/4-wave monopole antenna may be used with plastic or metal enclosures and supports weather-resistant applications. Features Applications Outperforms similar multiband solutions LTE/5G NR bands 72 and 73 Durable, flexible main shaft Hand-held devices Wide bandwidth Internet of Things (IoT) devices 1 Weather resistant for IP-rated applications O-ring compatible base 2 Compatible with plastic and metal enclosures High gain and efficiency 2.8 dBi, 71% at 450 MHz 2.4 dBi, 65% at 460 MHz 2.1 dBi, 62% at 470 MHz Ordering Information Part Number Description ANT-450-CW-QW-SMA 450 MHz CW Series antenna with SMA plug (male pin) Available from Linx Technologies and select distributors and representatives.

VSWR Figure 1 provides the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across the antenna bandwidth. VSWR describes the power reflected from the antenna back to the radio. A lower VSWR value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency. Reflected power is also shown on the right-side vertical axis as a gauge of the percentage of transmitter power reflected back from the antenna. 5 40 4 30 3 20 2 10 1 0 440 450 460 470 480 Frequency (MHz) Figure 1.
