This quad-band GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz antenna is designed for mobile communications equipment, M2M systems, telemetry and data transmission applications operating over compatible GSM/GPRS networks. Its 824-960 MHz and 1710-1990 MHz operating ranges cover the four traditional GSM mobile bands: GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1800 and PCS 1900.
This frequency coverage allows the unit to be used as a quad-band GSM antenna with compatible 850/900/1800/1900 MHz equipment. Typical applications include GSM/GPRS communication modules, M2M terminals, telemetry equipment, GSM-enabled alarm systems, remote control devices and other electronic equipment requiring a mobile GSM data connection.
Support for all four traditional GSM bands is particularly useful for equipment intended for different geographical markets. GSM 900 and 1800 have been widely deployed in Europe and other regions, whilst GSM 850 and PCS 1900 have been used in other markets. The antenna can therefore be suitable for internationally deployed GSM/GPRS equipment, provided that the frequencies used by the host device and mobile network are supported.
The antenna provides 2.5 dB gain and has a nominal impedance of 50 ohms, matching the RF impedance commonly used by compatible telecommunications equipment. The specified maximum power is 50 W.
A 90° right-angle SMA male connector allows the antenna to be attached directly to compatible equipment. The right-angle configuration is particularly useful where clearance around the RF connector is restricted, reducing the amount of space required compared with antenna arrangements that extend straight out from the equipment.
At approximately 50-52 mm high, the antenna has a compact form factor suitable for communications modules, electronic enclosures, industrial equipment and small terminals. Direct SMA attachment can also avoid the need for an intermediate coaxial lead where the host equipment already incorporates the appropriate SMA connection.
Applications include GSM and GPRS modules, telemetry, automation, alarm systems, remote terminals, machine-to-machine communications and other devices operating on GSM 850, 900, 1800 or 1900 MHz. It may also be used as a replacement antenna where the frequency coverage, 50-ohm impedance and connector configuration match the requirements of the original equipment.
Compatibility should always be checked before installation. A physically matching SMA connector does not by itself guarantee RF compatibility, as SMA connections are widely used across many different radio systems. The operating frequencies, impedance and connector arrangement of the host equipment must also be suitable.
The quad-band GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz designation should not be interpreted as universal support for every 3G, 4G LTE or 5G mobile band. When the antenna is being considered for a technology other than GSM/GPRS, the individual operating bands of the equipment must be compared with the antenna's specified frequency ranges.
This GSM/GPRS antenna is not a GPS antenna. Although some communications equipment may use similar SMA connectors for cellular and satellite positioning functions, this antenna is specified for mobile communications within the 824-960 MHz and 1710-1990 MHz ranges rather than GPS reception.
