The AC20424-01MM from Antenna Company is an RF Coupler/Antenna Isolator that operates from 400 to 2450 MHz. It provides an electrical isolation of 10 kV and has an insertion loss of 0.3-2.2 dB. This isolator can handle 2 W (33 dBm) of RF input power and has a VSWR of less than 1.8:1. The high voltage electric isolation enables safe routing of the RF signal from the NIC or wireless modem to a remote external antenna via a bulk-head connection in the meter base or body of the communications module. It is available in a module that measures 45.0 x 45.0 x 0.8 mm and has two MMCX Jack (female) SMD connectors for RF input/output.
The AC20424-01MM has a generic form factor which is suitable for use within the enclosure of most electric utility meters and AMI communication modules. This isolator is ideal for external antennas used to extend wireless range in off-network SMART Utility Meters, residential & commercial SMART meters, LED street lighting, and substation monitoring applications.
