Taoglas has expanded its Comet Series with the MA58x family of compact, discrete, screw- or through-hole mount puck antennas. Metal structures or flat surfaces, such as cabinets, can affect antenna performance and change the electrical groundplane. The Comet MA58x series is specifically engineered to maintain stable, high-efficiency operation in these challenging conditions. Conventional LTE antennas rely on their RF cable to achieve low-band efficiency, particularly when the cable itself is routed inside a metal enclosure, turning […]
