The YECT005W1A from Quectel is a 5G Dipole Antenna that operates from 600 to 6000 MHz. This linearly-polarized antenna has been designed to provide broadband coverage in the operating frequency band but also offers backward-compatibility to support 2G, 3G, and 4G networks, along with LTE Cat M and NB-IoT. It provides a peak gain of up to 4.6 dBi and an efficiency of 70.7%. This omni-directional antenna is ideal for applications where the antenna has to be discrete, low-profile, and easy to install. It can work with various ground plane sizes or in free space for easy integration.
The YECT005W1A has a hinged structure that helps to avoid collision with other antennas or objects rotating in different directions when mounted on terminals. It is available in a PC + ABS enclosure that measures 135.0 x 15.6 x 13.0 mm and has SMA (male) connectors. This RoHS-compliant antenna is ideal for gateways, routers, smart metering, vending machines, industrial IoT, connected enterprises, and smart home applications.
