Application
This antenna is tuned to perform the best when wrapped around an energy meter. Its PTCRB focused high performance design is
specifically tailored to sustain high noise environments that exist in a typical energy meter.
We can assist your engineers to optimize mounting positions for these antennas in your specific application and can further help to
troubleshoot system integration issues such as TRP/TIS and FCC requirements.

*Note: The above mentioned relevant performance metrics are recorded with the Antenna wrapped around (installed) an electric meter’s surface,
inside the upper plastic cap/drum. Since this is an embedded Antenna, performance may vary based on the Antenna placement within a device &
also with the variance of the Cable routing.
