RF Antenna for PCB
I need to connect an antenna to my RF receiver which is built on PCB. Where can i find an SMT of through-hole antenna connector to solder it on PCB and connect an antenna to it.
thanks
thanks

Can you please advice of a suitable rf antenna that can be connected to those connectors. Thanks
I recommend you to use RG-58 connector beside the specific antenna model.
Some examples of BNC conectors for RG-58 cables:

specific antenna must match the signal frecuency, please specify.

Thanks for your reply ..
I will be operating at 433.92 MHz ... any suggestions?

Well, antenna is a big issue, it is hard to determine your specific antenna need with few information, antenna model will depend of:
- Frecuency
- Transmission and reception capabilities
- Gain
- Omni or directional needs
- Environment requirements
I have suggested RG-58 BNC connect because it is one of the most used for **reception** antennas, including 70 cms UHF, and PCB mountable connector is easy and cheap to find.

What size is the PCB, and what is the range of the receiver?
In many applications an antenna can be fabricated on the pcb.
BNC is rarely used in new designs. Most common types are MMX, SMA, or SMC.
