Picture of the Part




Application
The WPANT40015-CB antenna is an aesthetic, efficient coupler antenna for Electric Meters that operates in both 900
MHz and 2.4 GHz ISM Bands. This Antenna works properly on any typical Electric Meter. Standard cable is
RG316/RG174 & Straight Type N Female connector.

WP Wireless can assist your engineers to optimize mounting positions for these antennas in your specific application
and can further assist to trouble shoot system integration issues such as TRP/TIS and FCC requirements. Please
contact sales@wp-wireless.com with your specific application requirements.

Factory Test Fixture & Test Method

Test #1: VSWR Test

The Factory will perform VSWR tests of the Antennas on a standard WPI test fixture.
    Test 25 Antennas for a PO of 4999pcs or less
    Test 50 Antennas for a PO between 5000pcs & 9999pcs
    Test 100 Antennas for a PO of 10,000pcs or more

Note: If 1 piece fails, then the factory will test additional 2 sample lots for possible failures. If additional failures are
detected in these 2 sample lots, then the full lot will be 100% tested.


Test #2: Conductivity Test

The Conductivity Test is different from the VSWR Test. It’s a quick Go-No Go test to find out whether the Antenna is
dead or alive. The Antenna will be placed flat on a Styrofoam piece, the connector will be plugged to a VNA and the
VSWR response will be observed. The antenna will be flexed at different locations while observing the VSWR
response. If the response looks smooth & normal (as expected) then it’s a PASS. If there is no response or if it’s
Jittery/abnormal then it’s a FAILURE & the Antenna will be rejected.
      100% of the Antennas will be subjected to the Conductivity Test
