Mouser Electronics now sells TE Connectivity/Laird 5G Phantom, no ground plane antenna required for IoT applications

June 20, 2023 – Mouser Electronics, a global authorized distributor of semiconductors and electronic components that focuses on introducing new products, will start selling TE Connectivity/Laird External Antennas’ 5G Phantom that does not require a ground plane antenna. This family of antennas provides engineers with a versatile, global cellular antenna option for applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT), freight and transportation environments, and public safety.

The TE Connectivity (TE)/Laird External Antennas 5G Phantom supplied by Mouser Electronics does not require a ground plane antenna to cover the 617 MHz to 7125 MHz or 698 MHz to 7125 MHz frequency bands. It does not require a fixed ground plane and is suitable for areas requiring the lower frequency band of 600 MHz. is also like this. These antennas provide worldwide cellular network coverage, the direct-mount threaded studs are of high quality, and have an integrated N-shaped female connector for a tamper-proof installation.

5G Phantom does not require a ground plane antenna and uses a direct coaxial connection to provide consistent performance, even at higher frequencies, and avoid the performance loss that other installation methods may cause. Minimal gain ripple and uniform radiation in different directions resulting from pointing the receive point close to the horizon reduces the possibility of signal loss while providing consistency and minimal offset gain. The 5G Phantom Series offers high efficiency levels, exceeding 95% at up to 4200 MHz, with gains up to 8.0-dBi. These rugged antennas also feature tamper-resistant features, an extremely durable IP67-rated housing, and a UL 94 flame-retardant rating, making them ideal for harsh environments.
