• Medium gain, directional antenna

• High performance narrow band antenna
• Covers GSM 800 and GSM 900 bands Rural/Farm

• Linearly polarised
• Robust enclosure design
• Vandal and water resistant (IP65)
• Meets the stringent electrical requirements for RFID applications

Product Overview

The PATCH-26 antenna covers both EU and USA RFID bands. The antenna has been designed to be water resistant and is easy to install. It is
circularly polarised for reading in any orientation. The antenna is linearly polarised and can also be used to improve indoor GSM coverage.
VSWR is typically less than 1.4:1, giving a return loss better than 20dB. This antenna is unique in the RFID environment because of its VSWR &
gain specifications.

Features

• Medium gain, directional antenna

• Linearly polarised
• Robust enclosure design
• Low VSWR < 1.4:1 over RFID band
• Easy to install

Application Areas

• Areas with poor GSM-800 and GSM-900 coverage

• Indoor GSM applications
• Rural and urban environments
• Operator agnostic
• RFID reader applications

Antenna Performance Plots

Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) Gain* in dBi

VSWR is a measure of how efficiently radio-frequency power is 8 dBi is the peak gain across all bands from 820 – 970 MHz
transmitted from a power source, through a transmission line, into
a load. In an ideal system, 100% of the energy is transmitted which
corresponds to a VSWR of 1:1. Gain @ 820 – 970 MHz: 8 dBi

The PATCH-26 delivers superior performance across all bands with
