BMYD403K

Antennas RF Overview

The Amphenol PCTEL BMYD403K is a directional 7-element Yagi antenna engineered for the 403 MHz to 430 MHz frequency range, with a center frequency of 416.5 MHz. It provides a gain of 10 dBd and supports up to 250 watts of power. The unit features an N Female connector attached to a 2-foot RG213 cable pigtail. Constructed from aircraft-quality 6061-T6 aluminum elements and boom, it ensures durability. The antenna offers a front-to-back ratio greater than 20 dB and supports both vertical and horizontal polarization.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Directional radiation pattern utilizing a 7-element Yagi configuration for focused signal transmission and reception.
• Robust mechanical construction using aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum for structural integrity and corrosion resistance.
• Integrated 2-foot RG213 coaxial cable termination with N Female connector for direct system interfacing.

Antennas RF Applications

• Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band communications
• Point-to-point microwave links within the 403-430 MHz spectrum
• Public safety radio systems requiring high-gain directional coverage

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the 2-foot RG213 pigtail and mounting hardware as specified in the product narrative. Confirm the N Female connector type matches the receiving equipment interface requirements. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the 250-watt power handling rating. Check for any regional regulatory compliance certifications required for the 403-430 MHz band operation before deployment.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-directional solution is required for the 403-430 MHz range rather than omnidirectional coverage. The 10 dBd gain and >20 dB front-to-back ratio make it suitable for long-range point-to-point links. Consider the integrated 2-foot cable length for installation flexibility near the transmitter or receiver unit. Verify that the N Female connector compatibility aligns with existing RF infrastructure components.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the PCTEL BlueWave series of RF antennas designed for reliable wireless communication. It represents a specialized directional solution within the broader portfolio of Amphenol PCTEL products, focusing on high-performance applications in the UHF spectrum. The design emphasizes mechanical durability and electrical efficiency for professional radio systems.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Any replacement must match the 403-430 MHz frequency range, 10 dBd gain, N Female connector, and 250-watt power rating. Structural dimensions and polarization options should be verified against the new component specifications.
