Antennas & Connectors
Antenna
Part Ordering: WADB-2458-23-SMAM
WADB-2458-23-SMAM is dual-band, omni-directional, multi-position, dipole antenna with an SMA Plug (SMA Male port).
Omni-directional antennas radiate equally well in all directions and are best used to spread a signal uniformly over some area. The dBi rating of an antenna specifies the amount of gain the antenna has in a particular direction. An antenna gain of 0dBi specifies an antenna that radiates all power uniformly over a sphere. For a dipole antenna, the radiation pattern is toroidal; and signal transmission and reception is best on the broad side of the antenna (i.e. horizontally placed from the antenna). The higher the gain of a dipole antenna, the stronger the signal is in the horizontal directions and the weaker the signal will be in the vertical (elevated) directions. Hence a high gain dipole antenna may not be ideal for a multi-story building, but it will be good to disperse a signal omni-directionally across a single floor.This antenna is designed for Wireless Communications.
Connector Cable
WACC-MHF4-SMAF-100-113 is an antenna connector cable with a SMA Female port on one end and a MHF4IPEX (HSC compliant) Female port on the other end. The length of this connector cable is 100mm with diameter of 1.13 mm
