This simple spring antenna matches great with any of our 433MHz RFM and LoRa breakouts, bonnets and Feathers. They're made of copper-clad wire so you can solder them easily.
They are compact, only ~38mm / 1.5" long, and have 2.5dBi of gain and 50Ω impedance, so it will work fantastically with just about any 400~450MHz wireless receiver/transmitter.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Impedance
- Impedance is the total opposition a component or circuit presents to alternating current, measured in ohms, combining resistance with frequency-dependent reactance. It appears in many contexts, such as matching a speaker's impedance (for example 4 ohm or 8 ohm) to an amplifier or the input and output impedance of signal circuits, and a correct match helps avoid weak signals, distortion or damage.
- LoRa
- LoRa is a long-range, low-power wireless radio technology often used for telemetry, remote sensors and other links that send small amounts of data over long distances. It is distinct from Bluetooth and WiFi, so sharing a connector or pinout with LoRa hardware does not mean a device actually uses LoRa.
