What is the difference between the antenna of the LoRa module?

The LoRa module is very popular nowadays. With its advantages of low power consumption, long-distance, and strong anti-interference, it has been widely used in various industries such as intelligent meter reading, data collection, and wireless data communication in the Internet of Things. To ensure the best working condition of the module, it is generally used in conjunction with the antenna. What is the difference between the LoRa module antenna and which types of antennas can be equipped? Let's take a look at it together.

What kinds of antennas can be equipped with the LoRa module?

Common antennas include spring antennas, rod antennas, and sucker antennas. Different antenna matching can be selected according to the power and frequency of the LoRa module. The spring antenna rod antenna can be selected for the LoRa module of 100mW, and the rod antenna for modules with a power of 500mW or more can be selected, 2W Modules with more power can choose a sucker antenna.

100mW LoRa module model: LoRa600Pro, LoRa610Pro, LoRa611Pro; spring antenna is recommended.

1W LoRa module models: LoRa6100Pro, LoRa6102Pro, LoRa6103Pro; it is recommended to choose a rod antenna, a sucker antenna.

5W LoRa module model: LoRa6500Pro, it is recommended to choose a sucker antenna.

What is the difference between the antenna of the LoRa module?

From the perspective of the types of LoRa module antennas, there are spring antennas, rod antennas, and sucker antennas. The gain of a sucker antenna is higher than that of a rod antenna and a spring antenna. Sucker antennas are often used in high-power LoRa modules, and spring antennas are often used in lower-power modules. In a communication system, the strength of the gain will interfere with the antenna's ability to radiate or receive wireless signals. Under the same conditions, the higher the gain, the longer the wireless signal propagation distance. Therefore, sometimes to increase the communication distance of the wireless module, it is a good way to choose a high gain antenna.

The above is about the difference between LoRa antennas and the types of antennas that can be matched. If you are not sure which antenna to choose, you can consult the antenna manufacturer, inform the merchant of your own needs, and the staff will give appropriate suggestions.
