Operating across 0.9-1.9 GHz, the AW-MG1880-3 magnetic-base mobile antenna provides 3 dBi gain and vertical polarization. The design targets telematics / v2x deployments that demand reliable coverage and stable impedance matching.
Radiation Pattern and Gain
As an omnidirectional radiator, it provides a full 360 degree azimuth pattern with an approximate 55 degree elevation beamwidth, distributing energy evenly around the mast. The rated gain of 3 dBi is referenced to an isotropic radiator.
Mechanical and Electrical Specifications
Mechanically, the AW-MG1880-3 measures 160 x 30 x 30 mm and is housed in a Magnetic base / TPE whip. The standard interface is a SMA-Male connector, with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and a typical VSWR of 1.5:1 or better. The element withstands up to 25 W of input power.
Installation Guidance
The recommended installation is vehicle, magnetic. The enclosure carries an IP65 environmental rating for outdoor exposure. For best results, mount the antenna with clear line of sight to the served area and bond all outdoor hardware to a proper grounding system.
Typical Applications
Telematics / V2X
Vehicle-Mounted
IoT / M2M
