1. Introduction
The HA.31.A is an ISM 915MHz quarter wave-length monopole antenna. This helical
coil antenna is perfect for your smart meter, smart security system, remote asset
monitoring, and other wireless communication devices.
The helical coil antenna has a 2dBi Peak gain and a 68% efficiency at 915MHz on a
126.8 x 80.1mm ground plane with matching components (orthogonally mounted to
ground plane, see HAD.B.31 performance).
Made of copper alloy, the helical coil is mechanically sturdy, with a wide-bandwidth. It
can be easily mounted on the surface of your device main board by soldering. The
antenna must be connected to a ground-plane to radiate efficiently.

Taoglas provides HAD.A.31 and HAD.B.31 evaluation boards to show performance
when two antennas are parallel mounted or orthogonally mounted to the ground plane.
Small embedded antennas can easily detune and/or have reduced efficiency in
different device environments. Taoglas provides matching, and other custom tuning,
design and support services, subject to MOQ and NRE. Contact a regional Taoglas
facility for details.
