  • The 3DBI GSM/GPRS/3G PCB Antenna with IPEX Connector is a high-gain, compact antenna designed for wireless communication applications. The antenna features an IPEX (MHF) connector and is suitable for use in a variety of IoT devices. Below is a detailed pinout guide for the antenna:
  • Pinout Structure:
  • The IPEX connector has a total of 6 pins, which are arranged in a compact, space-saving design. The pinout structure is as follows:
  • Pin 1:
  • Function: Ground (GND)
  • Description: This pin is connected to the ground plane of the PCB, providing a reliable ground connection for the antenna.
  • Pin 2:
  • Function: RF Input (ANT)
  • Description: This pin is the RF input of the antenna, where the transmitter signal is applied. It is connected to the RF output of the wireless module or transceiver.
  • Pin 3:
  • Function: No Connection (NC)
  • Description: This pin is not connected internally and should be left unconnected.
  • Pin 4:
  • Function: No Connection (NC)
  • Description: This pin is not connected internally and should be left unconnected.
  • Pin 5:
  • Function: No Connection (NC)
  • Description: This pin is not connected internally and should be left unconnected.
  • Pin 6:
  • Function: Ground (GND)
  • Description: This pin is also connected to the ground plane of the PCB, providing an additional ground connection for the antenna.
  • Connection Guidelines:
  • When connecting the antenna to a wireless module or transceiver, follow these guidelines:
  • Connect Pin 2 (RF Input) to the RF output of the wireless module or transceiver.
  • Connect Pin 1 (Ground) and Pin 6 (Ground) to the ground plane of the PCB.
  • Leave Pin 3, Pin 4, and Pin 5 unconnected.
  • Important Notes:
  • Ensure proper impedance matching between the antenna and the wireless module or transceiver to optimize performance.
  • Follow proper RF design and layout guidelines to minimize signal loss and interference.
  • The antenna should be mounted in a way that minimizes mechanical stress and ensures reliable connections.
  • By following these guidelines, you can successfully integrate the 3DBI GSM/GPRS/3G PCB Antenna with IPEX Connector into your IoT device design, ensuring reliable and efficient wireless communication.

Code Examples
Here are a few code examples demonstrating how to use the 3DBI GSM/GPRS/3G PCB Antenna with IPEX Connector in various contexts:
Example 1: Using the Antenna with a Cellular Module (Arduino)
In this example, we'll use the antenna with a cellular module (e.g., SIM900A) to send an SMS using Arduino.
```c++
#include <GSM.h>
// Define the cellular module's pins
#define GSM_TX 2
#define GSM_RX 3
// Initialize the GSM library
GSM gsmAccess;
void setup() {
  // Initialize the serial communication
  Serial.begin(9600);
  
  // Initialize the cellular module
  gsmAccess.begin(GSM_TX, GSM_RX);
  
  // Wait for the cellular module to connect to the network
  while (!gsmAccess()) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Waiting for network...");
  }
  
  // Send an SMS using the cellular module
  gsmAccess.sendSMS("+1234567890", "Hello from Arduino!");
}
void loop() {
  // Do nothing in the loop
}
```
Example 2: Using the Antenna with a Python Script (Raspberry Pi)
In this example, we'll use the antenna with a cellular modem (e.g., Huawei E303) connected to a Raspberry Pi to send an SMS using Python.
```python
import serial
# Open the serial connection to the cellular modem
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 115200, timeout=1)
# Wait for the cellular modem to connect to the network
while True:
    response = ser.readline().decode('utf-8')
    if response.startswith('OK'):
        break
# Send an SMS using the cellular modem
ser.write(b'AT+CMGF=1
')
ser.write(b'AT+CMGS="+1234567890"
')
ser.write(b'Hello from Raspberry Pi!
x1A')
```
Example 3: Using the Antenna with a LTE-M Module (ESP32)
In this example, we'll use the antenna with an LTE-M module (e.g., Sequans Monarch Go) connected to an ESP32 board to send an HTTP request using the LTE-M network.
```c++
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <LTE_M.h>
// Define the LTE-M module's pins
#define LTE_M_TX 16
#define LTE_M_RX 17
// Initialize the LTE-M library
LTE_M lte_m = LTE_M(LTE_M_TX, LTE_M_RX);
void setup() {
  // Initialize the serial communication
  Serial.begin(115200);
  
  // Initialize the LTE-M module
  lte_m.begin();
  
  // Wait for the LTE-M module to connect to the network
  while (!lte_m.isNetworkConnected()) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Waiting for network...");
  }
  
  // Send an HTTP request using the LTE-M network
  lte_m.httpGet("http://example.com");
}
void loop() {
  // Do nothing in the loop
}
```
