ANT-LPX-FPC-100
LTE/LPWA/WiFi Flexible Embedded Dipole Antenna
The ANT-LPX-FPC-100 (LPX) antenna is a flexible
embedded multiband cellular and cellular IoT
antenna (LTE-M and NB-IoT) ideal for use in
LTE bands 5, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 20, 28, while
also supporting low-power, wide-area (LPWA)
networking at 868 MHz and 915 MHz and WiFi/
WLAN applications.
The LPX provides a ground plane independent
dipole embedded antenna solution comparable
in performance to an external antenna. The LPXs
flexibility and adhesive backing makes it easy to
mount in unique and custom enclosures, while
enabling an environmentally sealed enclosure and
protection from tampering or accidental antenna

damage.
Connection is made to the radio via a 100 mm
long, 1.13 mm coaxial cable terminated in an
MHF1/U.FL compatible plug connector.

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.
