With a hinged, rotatable Fakra connector, the TG.08.0723 is a monopole antenna for automotive telematics applications that provides broad coverage among cellular and GNSS frequencies and offers impressively high efficiencies. It fits in crowded device environments. This antenna has a good efficiency in the 700 MHz to 2700 MHz range, covering the 2G/3G/4G bands, as well as GPS/Glonass/Beidou. It can achieve up to 75% efficiency at GPS and LTE bands when connected to a ground plane. With its compact design, the TG.08 is an excellent antenna for routers, vehicle tracking devices, telematic devices, and remote monitoring systems. It is also ideal for cellular modules with assisted GPS functionality that can be implemented in various devices.
Its robust brass hinge enables it to be oriented in all directions, allowing users to maximize performance with minimum effort. The Fakra connector gives additional mechanical robustness over a traditional SMA connector since it locks securely with its mate and will not come loose due to vibrations or impacts.
The TG.08.0723 works best when connecting directly to the ground-plane of the device main-board or to the device’s metal enclosure. For optimum radiation efficiency, care should be taken to keep the radiating element of the antenna as far away from metal as possible.
