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.
