Overview

The TOXU TX-A67 is a compact external wideband communication antenna designed for compatible cellular, IoT, telemetry, and 2.4GHz wireless communication equipment.

The antenna covers 698-980MHz and 1710-2700MHz, allowing it to operate with compatible 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE bands located within the specified frequency ranges. The upper frequency range also covers the 2.4GHz ISM band for compatible single-port wireless equipment.

The TX-A67 provides a specified gain of 4dBi, a VSWR of ≤1.9, 50-ohm impedance, and linear polarization. Its compact Φ46 × 16mm puck-style housing helps reduce installation space on vehicle panels, communication terminals, equipment cabinets, and industrial enclosures.

A threaded through-hole mounting structure provides stable mechanical installation. According to the available specification, SMA and FAKRA connector configurations can be evaluated according to the customer’s equipment interface.

The TX-A67 has one antenna element, one coaxial cable, and one RF connector. It is therefore a single-port wideband antenna rather than a multi-element combination or MIMO antenna.

Cable type, cable length, connector series, connector gender, mounting-thread details, labels, and packaging should be confirmed according to the approved product specification or customer drawing before production.

Single RF Connection

One coaxial cable and one RF connector provide a direct connection to a compatible communication module or terminal.

Customizable Cable and Connector

Cable type, cable length, SMA or FAKRA connector configuration, connector gender, labels, and packaging can be evaluated according to project requirements.

Technical Specifications

The available specification does not identify a standard cable type, cable length, connector gender, mounting-thread dimensions, housing material, or IP protection rating. These parameters should be confirmed according to the approved specification, customer drawing, or sample before production.

Applications

• 2G, 3G and 4G LTE Communication Terminals

• Cellular IoT Gateways

• Vehicle Tracking Devices

• Fleet Management Terminals

• Smart Metering Equipment

• Remote-Monitoring Systems

• Industrial Routers and Gateways

• Telemetry and Data-Transmission Equipment

• Equipment Cabinets and Control Panels

• Compatible 2.4GHz Wireless Equipment

System Integration

The TX-A67 provides one antenna element and one RF connection. The coaxial cable should be connected to one compatible antenna port of the communication module or terminal.

When used with cellular equipment, the operating bands of the connected 2G, 3G, or 4G LTE module must fall within 698-980MHz or 1710-2700MHz.

Although the specified upper frequency range includes 2.4GHz, the standard TX-A67 has only one RF port. Cellular and 2.4GHz radios should not be connected directly to the same antenna cable at the same time unless the customer’s system includes an appropriate RF switching, filtering, or multiplexing design.

The antenna does not provide two independent cellular paths and should not be described as an LTE MIMO antenna. Equipment requiring LTE MIMO normally needs at least two independent cellular antenna elements and two separate RF connections.

The TX-A67 does not contain a GPS or GNSS antenna element and cannot receive satellite positioning signals unless a separate GNSS antenna is added to the system.

The threaded mounting structure requires a compatible installation hole and sufficient clearance behind the equipment panel. Final mounting-hole diameter, thread dimensions, panel thickness, washer, and nut configuration should be confirmed before enclosure processing.

The antenna should be positioned away from strong interference sources and obstructing structures. Cable routing, connector matching, installation surface, surrounding metal, module output power, and the final equipment enclosure may affect RF performance.

RF performance should be verified on the customer’s final device before volume production, particularly when the antenna is installed on a metal panel or close to other antennas and electronic modules.

FAQ

Q: What type of antenna is the TX-A67?

A: The TX-A67 is a single-port external wideband communication antenna covering 698-980MHz and 1710-2700MHz.

Q: Does the TX-A67 support 4G LTE?

A: Yes. It supports compatible 4G LTE bands located within its specified 698-980MHz and 1710-2700MHz frequency ranges.

Q: Does it support 2G and 3G networks?

A: Yes. It can be used with compatible 2G and 3G bands located within the specified frequency ranges.

Q: Does the TX-A67 cover 2.4GHz?

A: Yes. Its 1710-2700MHz upper frequency range includes the 2.4GHz ISM band. Compatibility should be verified with the connected module and final installation.

Q: Can LTE and WiFi use this antenna simultaneously?

A: The standard TX-A67 has only one RF cable and one antenna port. Simultaneous connection to separate cellular and WiFi radios requires an appropriate RF switching, filtering, or multiplexing circuit in the customer’s system.

Q: Is this a combination antenna?

A: No. It is one wideband antenna element with one RF connection, rather than a multi-element combination antenna.

Q: Does the TX-A67 support LTE MIMO?

A: No. The standard TX-A67 has only one cellular antenna path. LTE MIMO normally requires at least two independent antenna elements and RF connections.

Q: Does it include GPS or GNSS?

A: No. The TX-A67 does not include a GPS or GNSS antenna element.

Q: What is the antenna gain?

A: The specified antenna gain is 4dBi.

Q: How is the antenna installed?

A: It uses a threaded through-hole structure for mounting on a compatible equipment panel or enclosure.

Q: Which connector options are available?

A: The available specification identifies SMA and FAKRA options. Connector series, gender, and cable configuration should be confirmed before ordering.

Q: Can the cable and connector be customized?

A: Yes. Cable type, cable length, connector type, connector gender, labels, and packaging can be evaluated according to the equipment interface and project requirements.

Q: Is the TX-A67 waterproof or IP67 rated?

A: A waterproof or IP rating should only be stated after it has been confirmed by the approved product specification or corresponding environmental test report.
