MA140ALB001 Datasheet, PDF (2/25 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – Olympian 2in1 LTE 4G/3G/2G and GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO

1. Introduction
The Olympian MA140 is a high performance combination LTE and
GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO screw mount antenna in a compact housing, for external
use on vehicles and outdoor assets worldwide. The LTE antenna functions equally
well on 2G and 3G. The GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO antenna has stable gain and
radiation patterns on both bands.
The antenna can be mounted on metal and plastic structures. Customized cable
length and connectors are available.
Durable UV resistant IP67 ABS housing is resistant to vandalism and direct attack.
A rubber O-ring is provided under the antenna to prevent water entering under the
antenna. If the lower frequency bands are required the antenna functions best
when mounted on a metal ground-plane, but can still work well with short cable
lengths below 1 meters on plastic structures and is locked from the inside of the
structure by a nut. The thread is extra small, allowing for installation in the tightest
of environments.
Customized cable length and connectors are available. Taoglas recommends
minimum of 1m cable length for stable antenna performance. When mounted on a
ground-plane, the antenna can function well at all frequencies up to 3 meters cable
length. Generally, antenna efficiency of less than 20% at the connector would lead
to unreliable wireless system performance.
For better efficiency, especially on longer cable lengths up to 5 meters, a short
300mm cable can be used as standard, and then add a low loss 5 meter CFD200
extension cable SMA(F) to SMA(M) [CAB.0149].
If your device requires certification for PTCRB or US/Canadian network operators
please contact Taoglas USA to check is this antenna suitable.
