Description

A Whip Antenna RA MOV 5dBi 868MHz is an omnidirectional whip antenna tuned for the 868 MHz ISM band featuring a Right-Angle (RA) Movable (MOV) knuckle joint.The $90^circ$ tilt-and-swivel knuckle allows the whip to be adjusted vertically, horizontally, or at a $45^circ$ angle relative to the device enclosure, optimizing polarization and signal reach.Part Designation BreakdownWHIP ANTENNA: Flexible, slim rod/rubber duck antenna profile.RA (Right Angle): Right-angle connector profile.MOV (Movable / Swivel): Features an adjustable $0^circ text{ to } 90^circ$ elbow joint for flexible positioning.5dBi: Moderate-to-high gain rating, offering a flattened, disc-shaped radiation pattern for extended range compared to standard $2text{dBi}$ stubby antennas.868MHz: Operating frequency tuned specifically for European/Asian ISM bands (LoRa, Sigfox, LPWAN, Smart Metering).Technical SpecificationsParameterSpecificationCenter Frequency$868text{ MHz}$ ($860text{ MHz} - 870text{ MHz}$ band)Gain$5text{ dBi}$Radiation PatternOmnidirectional ($360^circ$ horizontal beamwidth)Impedance$50 Omega$VSWR$le 1.5 - 2.0$ at center frequencyPolarizationLinear VerticalAdjustability$0^circ text{ to } 90^circ$ tilt / $360^circ$ swivel knuckleConnector TypeSMA Male or RP-SMA Male (varies by model)Radome MaterialThermoplastic / Rubber / TPEOperating Temp$-40^circtext{C to } +85^circtext{C}$Key ApplicationsLoRaWAN & Sigfox Nodes: Long-range IoT sensors, smart agriculture devices, and remote telemetry units operating on 868 MHz.Smart Metering & AMR: Automated electricity, gas, and water meter gateways requiring adjustable orientation inside enclosures.Wireless Alarm & Security Systems: 868 MHz security hub transmitters, gate openers, and industrial telemetry modules.
