Omega2 LTE Antennae Recommendations
-
Hello!
I just bought two Omega2 LTE boards and need some help choosing the correct RF antennae for the main and diversity LTE antennae and the GNSS antenna. Had a hard time finding documentation on this and I'm new to all this so asking the community to share specs and links to help clue me in.
Thanks in advance!

This is the antenna I have used:
https://sixfab.com/product/lte-main-diversity-gnss-triple-port-u-fl-antenna-100mm/
It seems to work fine and it's designed to work with the Quectel EC25 used on the Omega2 LTE. I cannot attest to it's its long term quality as I've only used it for some POC testing. But for the price it's hard to go wrong.

Thanks @crispyoz
I had ordered the ANT-LTE-RPC-UFL before I saw your message:
https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/linx-technologies-inc/ANT-LTE-RPC-UFL/11314387
https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Linx-Technologies/ANT-LTE-RPC-UFL?qs=xZ%2FP%2Ba9zWqZk6bOn%2FzoXVw%3D%3DThey work well for WiFi/LTE/GNSS but you need 4 of them for completeness.
Once I saw your message, I also ordered the ones you recommended which just arrived today:

https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/PulseLarsen-Antennas/W6113B0100?qs=pfd5qewlna7l9rNmj68a0g%3D%3DThey work as well as the ones I used before except you have to cross the LTE and diversity wires over each other when the antenna front/label is facing you or twist the wires around so the connectors line up when the antenna back/label is facing you.
