Antenova Garbei SRCI114 Ceramic Antenna
Antenova Garbei SRCI114 Ceramic Antenna is a compact surface-mount loop antenna designed for 868MHz and 915MHz ISM-band wireless applications. The antenna supports common LPWAN and wireless connectivity protocols, including LoRa, Sigfox, and Zigbee®, while maintaining high performance when integrated onto a PCB using Antenova's Designed for Integration (DFI) approach. The Garbei SRCI114 antenna mounts at the center of the long edge of a host PCB and requires a ground plane and dedicated clearance area for optimum performance. The antenna can be matched for single- or dual-band operation, covering 863MHz to 870MHz deployments in Europe and 902MHz to 928MHz in North America. Recommended matching network values and PCB integration guidance help accelerate wireless product development. Applications include remote monitoring, manufacturing automation, smart grid devices, and street-lighting controls.
