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.
