Item description
Foldable Ground Plane Antenna – 868 MHz | 2.2 dBi Gain
Professional-Grade Antenna for Reliable Long-Range Communications
Engineered for mission-critical wireless applications, the 868 MHz Foldable Ground Plane Antenna offers exceptional performance in LoRaWAN, industrial IoT, UAV telemetry, emergency response, and defense-grade field systems. Combining laboratory-grade RF tuning with military-style mechanical reliability, it is the antenna of choice for professionals who need performance without compromise — in the field, on the move, or in the most demanding environments.
Why Choose a Ground Plane (GP) Antenna?
Unlike basic whip or PCB antennas, this is a precision-engineered 1/4-wave Ground Plane antenna built for real-world communication systems. Its design offers:
✅ True Omnidirectional Radiation
• Full 360° horizontal coverage
• No blind spots in communication footprint
• Perfect for dense or mobile node networks
✅ Low Take-Off Angle
• Enhances ground-wave propagation
• Ideal for flat terrain, city deployments, and low-altitude drone comms
✅ Artificial Ground Plane with 8 Radials
• Precisely tuned spring-wire radials form a virtual ground
• Ensures a stable impedance match even on non-conductive surfaces like plastic masts
✅ Broadband Matching
• VSWR < 1.5 across ~65 MHz (830–895 MHz)
• Covers the full 868 MHz ISM band and more

Construction Details
Radiating Element
• steel core for durability
• PVC-jacketed for UV resistance and field abuse
Radials (8x)
• Spring-tempered galvanized steel multicore wire
• Retains shape after compression
• Pre-angled for optimal radiation pattern
Balun
• balun sleeve suppresses common-mode currents
• Clean pattern and improved efficiency
Integrated Mast System
• Telescopic arm (extends up to 0,8m)
• optional side mounting bracket compatible with tripods, clamps, or poles (pleas contact with us in this case, we can manufacture any type of adapter)
• All elements fold neatly for rapid deployment or transport
Environmental Protection
• IP54-rated: dust and light moisture resistance
• Operational range: –30°C to +70°C
