SPECIFICATION Part No. : FW.80.SMA.M Product Name : Meteor 169MHz 0dBi Flexible Whip Monopole Omni-Directional Antenna SMA Male connector Feature : IP67 Housing 1/4 Wavelength Robust but Flexible Inner Steel Whip High Efficiency Outdoor Antenna Advanced RF Design and Materials RoHS Compliant SPE-12-8-033/D/PK Page 1 of 7 1. Introduction The Meteor FW.80 is a 0dBi 169MHz ISM band 1/4 wavelength monopole flexible whip antenna with omni- directional pattern optimized in the azimuth for wide coverage range in typical 169 MHz applications such as Wireless M-Bus metering. It also finds its usage in remote asset monitoring applications, alarms, paging systems and private mobile radio services. The Meteor has a IP67 housing. The antenna, like all low frequency monopole antennas needs to be mounted to a metal plate to radiate. For a waterproof integration to a metal box a waterproof panel mount SMA connector or cable assembly can be provided. TNC and N-type antenna versions are also available. This whip is made up of a flexible inner steel core covered by TPU so extremely resistant to collisions and maintaining its original shape and RF performance. Customized frequency and gain versions can be supplied. SPE-12-8-033/D/PK Page 2 of 7 2.
