TG.90.2313 Terminal-Mount Spring Antenna

Introduction

The Taoglas TG.90.2313 is a rugged terminal-mount cellular antenna designed for wideband operation from 696 MHz to 2700 MHz. Its spring-enclosure construction, IP67-rated housing, and TNC(M) connector make it a practical antenna option where cellular connectivity must be maintained in exposed, mobile, or mechanically demanding installations.

What it does

This omnidirectional, linearly polarized antenna supports cellular-frequency coverage across a broad 696 MHz to 2700 MHz range. It is intended for terminal mounting and presents a 50 Ω impedance for RF-system integration.

The antenna uses a flexible spring system within an impact-resistant enclosure. According to the supplied product information, the construction is intended to withstand repeated shocks, impacts, and bending forces exceeding 90° without permanent deformation. The enclosure is rated IP67 for protection in wet or dusty environments.

At 280.0 mm long with a 20.0 mm diameter, the TG.90.2313 is a relatively prominent external antenna. It supports up to 2 W input power and is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C. Listed RF figures include maximum efficiency up to 67.3%, average gain from -1.75 dB to -6.74 dB, and peak gain from -0.77 dBi to 4.23 dBi across its supported frequency range.

Applications

• Vehicle-mounted cellular communication equipment
• Public-safety communication terminals
• Ruggedized cellular-connected devices exposed to shock or vibration
• Outdoor or mobile systems requiring an IP67-rated antenna enclosure
• Terminal-mounted RF installations using a TNC(M) antenna connection

Design considerations

• Confirm that the host equipment provides a compatible TNC connection, as the antenna is fitted with a TNC(M) connector.
• The antenna is intended for terminal mounting; mechanical placement should accommodate its 280.0 mm length and spring movement.
• RF integration should be designed for a 50 Ω antenna interface.
• Gain and efficiency figures vary across the 696 MHz to 2700 MHz operating range, so system-level link-budget evaluation should use the relevant operating band.
• The IP67 enclosure and -40°C to +85°C operating-temperature range support use in demanding environments, while the spring design addresses bending and impact exposure.
