Wideband LTE dipole terminal antenna

23 October 2019 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The hinged Apex III TG.45 wideband dipole antenna from Taoglas has been designed to cover all cellular, ISM and Wi-Fi working frequencies in the 450-6000 MHz spectrum. Evolved from the successful Apex II TG.35, Taoglas claims the TG.45 has the highest wideband efficiency in its range of any terminal antenna on the market today.

The Apex III has been primarily designed for use with 4G LTE modules and devices that require the highest possible efficiency and peak gain to deliver high throughput on all major worldwide cellular bands (4G/3G/2G) for access points, terminals and routers. High efficiency is vital for applications such as high-speed video and real-time streaming or high-capacity MIMO networks on public transportation.

This attractive, slim-line antenna is ground plane independent, meaning it does not need to be connected to the ground plane of a device to radiate efficiently. On the other hand, neither is it seriously detuned by connecting to a ground plane, thus avoiding a problem notorious to smaller antennas.

It comes with an SMA(M) connector and swivel mechanism that allows the antenna to be rotated to fit in tight environments. The 90° hinge structure has been improved and strengthened so that the antenna in a 90° position would not drop down if used in environments prone to vibration.

The Apex III is backward compatible with 3G and 2G cellular applications such as HSPA, GSM, GPRS, UMTS, Wi-Fi and even has GPS included for Assisted GPS and/or E911 applications.
