As well as, the antenna will be equipped on tape and reel for high-volume purposes and is appropriate with all of Quectel’s 4G, 3G, 2G, and LPWA (low-power wide-area) IoT modules.
2. Quectel YC0018CA: Excessive-Efficiency 5G Antenna
The Quectel YC0018CA is a 5G SMD antenna that covers 5G New Radio (NR) sub-6GHz frequency bands. Relying on the bottom airplane, the antenna is designed to be mounted on to the printed circuit board (PCB) utilizing a standard PCB reflow course of. The antenna operates between -40 °C to +85 °C and weighs 15g.
The antenna will be tuned particularly for the ultimate machine atmosphere with a easy, PI matching circuit and, when used with different 5G antennas, it will probably obtain a number of enter, a number of output (MIMO) efficiency. Additionally obtainable on tape and reel, the antenna will also be equipped with the YC0018CAEVB analysis board.
3. Quectel YECN028AA: Versatile 5G or NTN Exterior Antenna
The Quectel YECN028AA is a 5G or NTN exterior antenna that helps the 410-470MHz, 617-960MHz, and 1425-6000MHz frequency bands. The antenna is IP66, RoHS, and REACH compliant so it has vast applicability to make use of instances in delicate environments. That includes excessive effectivity and achieve, the antenna presents omni-directional high-speed knowledge transmission and can be utilized in a variety of wi-fi gadgets reminiscent of entry factors, out of doors tools, real-time monitoring gadgets, and plenty of others.
4. Quectel YEMX223J1A: 5G x 2 Combo Antenna
The Quectel YEMX223J1A is a 5G x 2 combo antenna that’s IP67, RoHS, and REACH compliant. The combo antenna helps the 410-470MHz, 617-960MHz, 1420-1520MHz, 1710-2690MHz, 3300-3800MHz and 4000-6000MHz frequency bands. The ultra-wideband antenna field can also be backward appropriate supporting 2G and 3G networks, in addition to Cat-M and NB-IoT.
Designed for ease of integration with connection by way of two cable lengths from 450-5000mm, the pole, wall suction mount omni-directional antenna presents ease of set up and sturdiness with its IP67 and IP69K compliant enclosure.
5. Quectel YEMX425J1A: 5G x 4 Combo Antenna
The Quectel YEMX425J1A is a 5G x 4 combo antenna. The combo antenna helps the 410-470MHz, 617-2690 MHZ, and 3300-6000MHz frequency bands and is each RoHS and REACH compliant. Providing backward compatibility with 2G, 3G, Cat-M, and NB-IoT, the antenna is, in widespread with the YEMX223J1A, appropriate with Quectel’s RM520x Sequence of IoT modules. As well as, sturdiness is assured because of the combo antenna’s IP67 and IP69K ASA enclosure.
6. Quectel YSIS001AA: Steel Spring Antenna for A number of Bands
The Quectel YSIS001AA, steel spring antenna operates within the 412-427MHz band, the 433-435 MHz band, and the 450-470MHz band which is appropriate with LTE B31 plus EU433 purposes. The RoHS and REACH-compliant antenna is mounted to the host machine PCB (printed circuit board) utilizing the traditional SMD (floor mount machine) reflow course of, providing excessive effectivity.
In widespread with all Quectel antennas, these new additions to the vary achieve Quectel’s complete antenna design assist, together with simulation, testing, and manufacturing for customized antenna options to fulfill clients’ particular software wants.
