Laird Connectivity 5G Phantom on-ground plane antennas

Laird Connectivity’s 5G Phantom on-ground plane antennas deliver up to 6 dBi of optimal circular gain and average efficiency of over 80%.

Unlike other solutions where gain can be focused in unhelpful directions, such as towards the sky where drops in gain or signal can occur, the low-profile antennas are engineered to be 10 to 20° above the horizon. Combined with minimal gain ripple around the horizon, the antennas offer high connectivity and efficiency and can provide consistent performance regardless of their direction, with minimal signal drops or dead spots.

The antennas offer a wide frequency coverage of 617 to 7125 MHz or 698 to 7125 MHz, depending on the model. They deliver global cellular coverage for many current 4G and 5G frequencies, even for regions that use the lower 600 MHz frequencies. They also offer futureproofing of the emerging 5G frequencies in the 4200 to 7125 MHz range, as well as many other cellular frequencies.

The antennas offer tamper-resistant installation and good connectivity due to their rugged, direct-mount, threaded stud with integrated N-female connector. The direct coaxial connection helps enable consistent performance, even at higher frequencies, by reducing performance losses associated with other mounting methods.

The antennas can be deployed in the field for many years without the need for maintenance or repair. They are suitable for a variety of vertical industries deploying Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, including utilities, transportation, public safety, agriculture, public transit, health care and manufacturing.
