Datasheet OC-LG Series 868 MHz LPWA Antenna The OC-LG series antennas deliver excellent performance in a ground plane independent dipole configuration. The 868-OC-LG antenna is designed for sub-1 GHz and low-power, wide-area (LPWA) applications including LoRaWAN , Sigfox , and other unlicensed ISM bands in the 862 MHz to 876 MHz range. The hinged design allows for the antenna to be positioned for optimum performance and reduces the potential for damage from impact compared to a fixed whip design. The antenna is available with an SMA plug (male pin) or RP-SMA plug (female socket) connector for FCC Part 15 compliant applications. Features Applications Performance at 862 MHz to 876 MHz Low-power, wide-area (LPWA) applications VSWR: 2.3 LoRaWAN Peak Gain: 0.4 dBi Sigfox Efficiency: 62% ISM band applications Hinged design with detents for straight, 45 Internet of Things (IoT) devices degree and 90 degree positioning Smart Home networking SMA plug (male pin) or RP-SMA plug (female Security systems socket) Home weather stations Remote sensing, monitoring and control Industrial machinery AMR (automated meter reading) Hand-held devices Gateways Ordering Information Part Number Description ANT-868-OC-LG-SMA Antenna with SMA plug (male pin) ANT-868-OC-LG-RPS Antenna with RP-SMA plug (female socket) Available from Linx Technologies and select distributors and representatives.ANT-868-OC-LG Datasheet Electrical Specifications ANT-868-OC-LG 868 MHz Frequency Range 862 MHz to 876 MHz VSWR (max) 2.3 Peak Gain (dBi) 0.4 Average Gain (dBi) -2.3 Efficiency (%) 62 Polarization Linear Radiation Omnidirectional Max Power 10 W Wavelength 1/2-wave Electrical Type Dipole Impedance 50 Connection SMA plug (male pin) or RP-SMA plug (female socket) Operating Temperature Range -20 C to +85 C Weight 15.0 g (0.53 oz) Dimensions Length: 193.5 mm (7.62 in) Diameter: 10.0 mm (0.39 in) Electrical specifications and plots measured with a 102 mm x 102 mm (4.0 in x 4.0 in) reference ground plane in a Center-Straight orientation.
