1. Introduction
The hinged Apex TG.30 Ultra-Wideband Dipole LTE Antenna – is primarily designed for use
with 4G LTE modules and devices that require the highest possible efficiency and peak gain to
deliver best in class throughput on all major cellular (2g/3g/4g) bands worldwide for access
points, terminals and routers. The antenna is a ground plane independent antenna with a
SMA (M) connector and swivel mechanism that allows the antenna part to be rotated. The
Apex exhibits high efficiency across the ultra wide band and is backward compatible with 2G
and 3G cellular applications such as GSM, LTE, UMTS, WI-FI and even has GPS included for
Assisted GPS and/or E911 applications. With very high efficiency on every cellular band
globally it is an ideal solution for any device requiring high, reliable performance. It is also
guaranteed to meet any type approval or carrier certification requirements from a RF
standpoint. It is an omni-directional antenna and the radiation patterns display this and are
stable across all bands.
It has a quality robust IP67 UV resistant housing (SMA connector is IP65) for use with
wireless terminals. The swivel and hinge mechanism allows the antenna part itself to be
orientated in different directions and can help avoid touching off other antennas or objects
close by as well as helping with isolation by orientating the antenna in different directions in
MIMO systems for when other TG.30 antennas are present on the same device.
This patent pending antenna is available in White and Black versions. The antenna blade can
swivel 90 degrees from the connector accommodating different installation environments. It
is also available with Straight and Right Angle connectors.
