A front-end SAW filter dramatically reduces radiated spurious emissions. The extended ground-plane used with an innovative internal cellular PIFA also enables the unique wide-band 4G/3G/2G response to deliver the highest performance possible, at 3 meters cable length. Nothing else out there comes close in terms of consistency of efficiency and peak gain at all cellular bands, with an awesome 70%+ at the LTE 700MHz band, again including 3 meters of cable loss. High antenna efficiencies are absolutely critical in today's 4G and 3G systems to achieving targeted data-speeds and coverage.

All this is done while still maintaining 20dB isolation between antennas. The Stream uses high-shielded PTFE dielectric ultra-low loss cables that maintain low attenuation at all frequency bands, and high noise rejection, with an average loss of only 0.3dB per meter (0.1dB per foot), compared to 0.7dB for RG58 and 1.2dB for RG174. Because of this, the Stream maximizes chances of passing PTCRB and network approvals first time. The Stream Two works best when attached to plastic or glass, but can also be used on metal if some foam spacing of 40mm or more is added.

Wideband 5G/4G 400-6000MHz 2 MIMO Cross Polarized Antenna with Multi-mount Bracket

The Taoglas TGX.45.A is a 2* 5G/4G MIMO cross-polarized omnidirectional dipole antenna with a wide bandwidth covering all worldwide sub 6GHz cellular bands from 400 to 6000MHz. It uses two dipole antennas to deliver the best possible throughput and quality improvements in transmitting and receive signal levels, leading to better coverage and performance, especially in urban environments. It is designed for multiple mounting options to allow for a variety of use cases and is supplied with 3m of low loss cable with SMA(M) connectors as standard.

The TGX.45 design is an evolution of our hugely successful TG.45 antenna design and it is unrivalled in its ability to cover all 5G/4G Sub 6GHz bands. The antenna is tuned for great performance at the recently established 5GNR bands between 3300 - 4200MHz and covers the Band 31 (450MHz) and Band 71 (617MHz) at the lower end of the 5G/4G frequency spectrum. High Efficiency and good Gain is achievable at each band on both MIMO antennas.

The cross polarized antennas' layout also enhances MIMO performance capabilities, thus improving signal quality. This is achieved by positioning the antenna elements orthogonal to each other aligning with the +/-45 degree polarised signals received from most base station antennas and in turn, enhances throughput capacity giving the user the best possible cellular performance for their device. The TGX.45 has been designed for typical applications including gateways, routers and wireless access points that require, high efficiency and unrivalled performance, and a pair of antennas can be used to create a 4?4 MIMO solution.

The robust TGX.45 enclosure is IP65 rated and manufactured from ASA for exceptional mechanical performance. The bracket is designed to allow for multiple mounting options, including wall or pole or mounting and it is supplied with suction cups to facilitate glass mounting. All accessories for each mounting option are included with the product. The TGX.45 is an omnidirectional antenna but the mounting bracket allows the user to position the antenna and lock it into place for optimal performance.

The GW.05 dual band WiFi Hinged Rotatable Antenna is a high efficiency monopole antenna. Compared to other much larger antennas on the market, it has superior wide-band high efficiency characteristics. The bright green colour of the antenna adds a unique quality look and feel to any modern WiFi application point, device or router. It also provides differentiation if using Taoglas other similar looking antennas (such as the black color Taoglas TG.09 cellular antenna) on same device. The connector used is Rev SMA(M), the standard mating part for an antenna to most WiFi application points and routers in the market.

The GW.05, as all monopole antennas, works best connected directly to the ground-plane of the device main PCB or to the outside of a metal housing. However it still has very good performance (>50%) even without connecting to a ground-plane, making it the best all round small WiFi terminal antenna on the market.

In the un-grounded installation condition it also comes below the max peak gain requirements for most WiFi modules which are usually 2dBi, so it can comply with FCC regulations.

The GW.05 is for Wi-Fi, WLAN, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and 802.11a/b/g/n/ac applications.

Many module manufacturers specify peak gain limits for any antennas that are to be connected to that module. Those peak gain limits are based on free-space conditions. In practice, the peak gain of an antenna tested in free-space can degrade by at least 1 or 2dBi when put inside a device. So ideally you should go for a slightly higher peak gain antenna than mentioned on the module specification to compensate for this effect, giving you better performance.

Upon testing of any of our antennas with your device and a selection of appropriate layout, integration technique, or cable, Taoglas can make sure any of our antennas' peak gain will be below the peak gain limits. Taoglas can then issue a specification and/or report for the selected antenna in your device that will clearly show it complying with the peak gain limits, so you can be assured you are meeting regulatory requirements for that module.

For example, a module manufacturer may state that the antenna must have less than 2dBi peak gain, but you don't need to select an embedded antenna that has a peak gain of less than 2dBi in free-space. This will give you a less optimized solution. It is better to go for a slightly higher free-space peak gain of 3dBi or more if available. Once that antenna gets integrated into your device, performance will degrade below this 2dBi peak gain due to the effects of GND plane, surrounding components, and device housing. If you want to be absolutely sure, contact Taoglas and we will test. Choosing a Taoglas antenna with a higher peak gain than what is specified by the module manufacturer and enlisting our help will ensure you are getting the best performance possible without exceeding the peak gain limits.

It is better not to select an embedded antenna with very low free-space peak gain (<2dBi) directly, as this antenna would have worse performance in your device, and lead to compromised performance compared to using a Taoglas antenna.

Also comes as a standard SMA(M) version.
