Antenna Knowledges

How do I choose the best antenna for LoRa  application? Antennas are a key part of the RF chip and are particularly important when choosing the best antenna for LoRa devices (such as LoRa nodes and LoRaWAN gateways) that transmit and receive data in the RF band. The performance of the antenna occupies a particularly important position in LoRa IoT, …

  There are many different classification methods, we list some for reference: WIRE ANTENNAS Short Dipole Antennas / Dipole Antennas / Half-Wave Dipole / Broadband Dipoles / Monopole Antennas / Folded Dipole Antennas / Loop Antennas / Cloverleaf Antennas / TRAVELLING WAVE ANTENNAS Helical Antennas / Yagi-Uda Antennas / Spiral Antennas / REFLECTOR ANTENNAS Corner Reflector / Parabolic Reflector (Dish …

Low gain antennas (3 dBi) have a broad radiation pattern and are best for rugged terrain or a dense urban environment. Your signal is less likely to be blocked by obstacles such as buildings and hills tight to your location. Medium gain antennas (5dBi and 5.8 dBi) have a more rounded and broader pattern. These antennas work well around obstructions …
