Featuring approximately 3 dBi gain, an omnidirectional radiation pattern, and a reverse-polarity SMA male connector, it supports compatible Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and proprietary ISM-band wireless equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for wireless networking, embedded communication systems, industrial monitoring, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, this 2.4 GHz antenna provides a practical solution for equipment requiring an external RF connection. Its adjustable whip-and-tilt construction allows users to position the antenna according to installation requirements. The omnidirectional design provides signal coverage around the antenna's vertical axis, making it suitable for wireless devices communicating in multiple horizontal directions. With a compact 4.5-inch overall length and connector-mounted installation, the ANT-2400-RP-2-A accommodates compatible wireless modules, routers, gateways, and communication equipment without requiring a separate mounting bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ANT-2400-RP-2-A operates across a specified frequency range of 2400 to 2500 MHz and features a 50-ohm impedance for integration with compatible RF systems. Its 1.5:1 voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) indicates controlled impedance matching under specified operating conditions, while its 20W maximum power rating supports applicable wireless transmission requirements. Vertical polarization, DC grounding, and an RP-SMA male termination complete its electrical configuration. The antenna is intended for equipment with a matching reverse-polarity SMA female connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.4 GHz Wireless Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Covers frequencies from 2400 to 2500 MHz for compatible Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and proprietary ISM-band communication systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 dBi Antenna Gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides approximately 3 dBi gain for wireless transmission and reception in compatible RF applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOmnidirectional Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports communication around the antenna's vertical axis, making it suitable for wireless devices operating in multiple directions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArticulating Whip Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable antenna construction allows flexible positioning to accommodate different equipment orientations and installation requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRP-SMA Male Connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reverse-polarity SMA termination provides direct connection to compatible wireless equipment with an RP-SMA female interface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50-Ohm Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matches the characteristic impedance commonly used in compatible RF transmission systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.5:1 VSWR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides specified impedance-matching performance to help limit reflected RF energy during operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Connector-Mounted Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a 4.5-inch overall length and direct connector mounting for integration into compatible wireless devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2.4 GHz Wireless Networking and IoT Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Datawave ANT-2400-RP-2-A supports wireless communication equipment operating within the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
