Product catalog summary

Introduction to SMB Antenna Range
The SMB Antenna is a robust, waterproof solution designed for multiple frequency bands, including wireless LAN, Bluetooth, Zigbee, GSM/cellular, and general radio applications. Key features include secure screw thread coupling, IP68 dust and waterproof rating, and gold-plated electrical connections. It is compatible with the SMB Buccaneer panel mount.

Design and Flexibility
Available in both standard and new 90° designs, the Bulgin SMB Antenna provides a reliable wireless data solution with environmental protection. The two-part design simplifies installation and testing while maintaining sealing integrity. It potentially reduces the number of connectors in the RF chain, minimizing insertion losses and enhancing system gain.

Applications
The antenna is suitable for various applications, including industrial, scientific, and medical radio (ISM), data/telecoms, marine, commercial and domestic buildings, water analysis, surveillance, and food processing. Specific uses include instrumentation, telemetry systems, base stations, smart metering systems, and more.

Specifications

Electrical: Frequency bands include 2.4 to 2.5GHz, 440 to 470MHz, and 850-900/1800/1900MHz. The antenna features omnidirectional radiation, vertical polarization, 50Ω nominal impedance, and VSWR <2.
Mechanical: The antenna is IP68 rated, with an operating temperature range of –20ºC to +65ºC. It meets EN60529 and EN60068-2-52 standards for sealing and salt mist resistance, respectively.
Material: Constructed from PVC with a UL94V-0 flammability rating and EN50021:1999 UV resistance. It is RoHS compliant.

Part Numbers and Descriptions
Various part numbers are available for different frequency bands and configurations, including standard and 90° designs. The panel mount option is also available.
