ISM 868/915MHz IIoT antenna works on metal surfaces

Named Magna (part SR4I051) and aimed at industrial IoT and smart buildings, it operates in the ISM 868/915MHz bands.

It uses two electrical layers, one isolated from the other, which enables an antenna to radiate on a metal surface or housing  – an environment where it is usually difficult for an antenna to operate, said the firm.

Magna is part of Antenova’s Reflector family, and another member, 1,559-1,609MHz Robusta, won an award at last year’s Embedded World.


Magna comes with a cable and an IPEX connector, and has an adhesive underside to fix it.

Also at Embedded World, Antenova will show a blade antenna for LTE Cat M1 and its latest reference design for a small OBDII (on board device) – LTE Cat M1 is an IoT-friendly version of LTE that provides enough bandwidth for data communication whilst maintaining a long battery life.

The blade antenna (part SR4G055) is 41 x 22 x 0.9mm and the OBDII unit operates in the 4G/LTE frequencies 698-894MHz and 1,710 – 2,155MHz. Customer can design their own circuitry into the unit “and be confident of gaining LTE CatM1 certification”, said Antenova. Bluetooth and GNSS antennas can be added and will co-exist on-board.

Example applications are trackers, portable devices, drones, network devices, smart metering, dashboard equipment and telematics.
