Antenna recommendation for Portenta H7 + Vision Shield LoRa (Final Year Project)

Official Hardware Portenta Family Portenta H7

Hi,

I’m working on my Final Year Project and I want to use LoRa to send data. I have an Arduino Portenta H7 with the Vision Shield LoRa, but I just realized it doesn’t come with an antenna, so I can’t test it yet.

I’m in Spain, so I need to work in the EU868 MHz band. I’m looking for something that can connect directly to the u.FL connector on the shield, but I’m fine with using an SMA adapter if it’s worth it. My main goal is to start testing with The Things Network (TTN) as soon as possible.

What antennas would you recommend in my case?
If you know specific models or have links to stores (preferably in Europe/Spain), that would be great.

Thanks.

Why not test one and see if that works for you?
