JRE ANT-82 overview
Inside a small shielded box, I set antenna orientation and cable routing before comparing devices. The ANT-82's blade form and swivel coupling support that repeatable fixture while covering several cellular and mobile-data service bands.
- Full performance from 700 through 3900 MHz, with reduced performance to 4900 MHz
- Coverage for AMPS, GSM, PCS, DCS, and UMTS test setups
- −10 to −15 dB return loss across the indicated frequency ranges
- 50 ohms characteristic impedance for conventional RF connections
- 1 Watt power rating for transmitting and receiving use
- SMA Male connector with swivel-and-tilt positioning at the feedpoint
- 6.3" (160 mm) length for planning clearance inside the enclosure
Lock the antenna, cabling, and DUT into a repeatable fixture before comparing devices. That consistency matters because nearby objects affect match and coupling inside a small shielded box. The ANT-82 is $44.00, a practical multiband choice for cellular and PCS work without stocking a separate antenna for every band.
