Engineering Selection Recommendations

PC17.07.0070A (Taoglas Limited): This part provides the closest frequency band match to ANT-24G-DPL-FP, operating at 2.4GHz center frequency with range 2.4GHz to 2.483GHz. Both parts are active products with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. The PC17.07.0070A features superior VSWR performance (1.5 versus 2.0) and improved return loss (-12dB versus -10dB). However, the gain is lower (0.9dBi versus 2.1dBi) and the antenna type differs (PCB Trace versus Whip, Center-Fed Double). Termination is U.FL (UMCC), IPEX MHF1, requiring connector adaptation from F-P Male. Height is significantly reduced (0.80mm versus 157.00mm).

FXP290.07.0100A (Taoglas Limited): This part operates at 915MHz center frequency (902MHz to 928MHz range), outside the primary 2.4GHz band of ANT-24G-DPL-FP. Both parts maintain active status, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating. VSWR and return loss match the main part specifications. Gain is lower (1.5dBi versus 2.1dBi). Termination is IPEX MHF2, requiring connector adaptation. This part is suitable only for applications requiring 915MHz operation.

FXP280.07.0100A (Taoglas Limited): This part operates at 866MHz center frequency (863MHz to 870MHz range), outside the 2.4GHz band. Active status, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating are maintained. VSWR and return loss specifications match the main part. Gain is lower (1.5dBi versus 2.1dBi). Termination is U.FL (UMCC), IPEX MHF1. This part is suitable only for 866MHz applications.

FXP14.24.0100B (Taoglas Limited): This multi-band part includes 2.1GHz coverage within its frequency range but does not provide direct 2.4GHz operation. Active status, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating are maintained. VSWR is higher (2.5 versus 2.0). Gain varies across bands (2dBi to 3dBi range). Termination is IPEX MHF4. This part is suitable for multi-band cellular applications but not for dedicated 2.4GHz operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PC17.07.0070A directly replace ANT-24G-DPL-FP in my application?

A: PC17.07.0070A operates at the same 2.4GHz center frequency and maintains equivalent RoHS and MSL compliance. However, three factors require evaluation: (1) Termination type differs (U.FL IPEX MHF1 versus F-P Male), requiring connector adaptation; (2) Antenna type differs (PCB Trace versus Whip, Center-Fed Double), affecting form factor and mounting; (3) Gain is lower (0.9dBi versus 2.1dBi), which may impact link budget. Substitution is possible only if your system can accommodate these differences.

Q: Why are FXP290.07.0100A, FXP280.07.0100A, and FXP14.24.0100B listed as substitutes if they do not operate at 2.4GHz?

A: These parts are listed based on the manufacturer's provided substitute list for ANT-24G-DPL-FP. FXP290.07.0100A and FXP280.07.0100A operate at different UHF frequencies (915MHz and 866MHz respectively) and are suitable only for applications requiring those specific frequency bands. FXP14.24.0100B is a multi-band part that includes 2.1GHz coverage but not direct 2.4GHz operation. These parts are not direct functional equivalents for 2.4GHz applications.

Q: What is the impact of different antenna types on substitution?

A: ANT-24G-DPL-FP is a whip, center-fed double antenna with 157mm height. Substitute parts use flat patch (0.10mm height) or PCB trace (0.80mm height) designs. These differences affect: (1) Physical mounting space requirements; (2) Radiation pattern characteristics; (3) Gain performance; (4) Integration method. Form factor compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ANT-24G-DPL-FP is RoHS Compliant. All listed substitute parts (PC17.07.0070A, FXP290.07.0100A, FXP280.07.0100A, FXP14.24.0100B) are ROHS3 Compliant. All parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: What connector adaptation is required for PC17.07.0070A substitution?

A: ANT-24G-DPL-FP uses F-P Male termination. PC17.07.0070A uses U.FL (UMCC), IPEX MHF1 termination. Direct connection is not possible without an adapter or cable assembly. Verify that your system can accommodate this termination type change.

Q: Can I use FXP14.24.0100B for 2.4GHz applications?

A: FXP14.24.0100B is a multi-band antenna covering 850MHz, 900MHz, 1.7GHz, 1.8GHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.1GHz. It does not include 2.4GHz in its frequency coverage. This part is not suitable for dedicated 2.4GHz operation.

Q: How do VSWR and return loss differences affect substitution?

A: ANT-24G-DPL-FP specifies VSWR of 2 and return loss of -10dB. PC17.07.0070A offers better performance (VSWR 1.5, return loss -12dB). FXP290.07.0100A and FXP280.07.0100A match VSWR (2) but exceed return loss performance (-20dB). FXP14.24.0100B has higher VSWR (2.5). Better VSWR and return loss values indicate improved impedance matching and reduced signal reflection, which may enhance system performance.
