https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/112136/nrf9161-antennaI am looking to reduce the size of an nfr9161 design from the dev kit. I was looking at several antenna options that are LTE but not 5G, SR4L034-L and SR4L049-L. Do you need an LTE antenna for the 91 series or a 5G antenna?en-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 17 Jun 2024 13:04:05 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/489108?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 17 Jun 2024 13:04:05 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:39636283-c994-4452-abf4-d694f18ac291mathiaso<p>Hi, Edward.</p> <p>According to the <a href="https://www.antenova.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Pharaoh-SR4L073-PS-1.02-1.pdf">datasheet</a> of the SR4L073 antenna, it should cover all the bands (both for <a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf9161/page/_tmp/alta.nRF9161/autodita/APPLICATION.RADIOLTE/parameters.rf_spec_m1.html">Cat-M1</a> and <a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf9161/page/_tmp/alta.nRF9161/autodita/APPLICATION.RADIOLTE/parameters.rf_spec_nb.html">Cat-NB1/2</a>) used by the nRF9161.</p> <p>Best regards,<br />Mathias</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/489063?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 17 Jun 2024 10:52:27 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b405eecb-066d-4a9a-bedb-26301d33cb9fedmcnicholas<p>I am now looking at the&nbsp;SR4L073 as it requires a smaller ground plane.&nbsp; Looking a t the frequency bands it looks to support all of the bands used in the nrf9161.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/488942?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 15 Jun 2024 08:07:45 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:796c7d4b-939e-428c-8efc-1e4e1712b236leonhanna<p>If your application only requires LTE-M or NB-IoT connectivity (without 5G support), you can use an LTE-specific antenna, such as the SR4L034-L or SR4L049-L models you mentioned.</p> <p><em>Edited by <a href="https://geometrydashsubzero.io">geometry dash subzero</a>&nbsp;2 days ago</em></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
