BMYD890K

Antennas RF Overview

The Amphenol PCTEL BMYD890K is a Bluewave Marathon Yagi antenna designed for the 890–960 MHz frequency range. It features seven elements and provides a gain of 10 dBd. The unit supports a maximum power handling capacity of 200 watts. Electrical performance includes a maximum VSWR of 1.5:1. The antenna is equipped with an N female connector attached to a 2-foot RG213 pigtail cable. Physical dimensions are optimized for pole mounting applications in wireless communication systems.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Seven-element Yagi design for directional signal transmission
• Dual-polarized capability in the companion DP variant
• Integrated 2-foot RG213 jumper cable with N female connector
• Robust construction rated for high wind velocity environments

Antennas RF Applications

• Point-to-point microwave links
• Wireless local loop (WLL) infrastructure
• Private land mobile radio (PLMR) base stations
• Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band communications

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the single-polarized BMYD890K configuration rather than the dual-polarized BMYD890K-DP variant. Confirm the presence of the standard 2-foot RG213 pigtail with N female connector. Ensure the operating environment aligns with the 200-watt power rating and 1.5:1 VSWR specifications. Check physical mounting requirements against the 7-inch height and width constraints.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed directional antenna is required for the 890–960 MHz spectrum. The 10 dBd gain offers efficient coverage for line-of-sight applications. The integrated cable simplifies installation by reducing field termination needs. Consider the BMYD890K-DP if dual-polarization diversity is necessary for the same frequency band.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the PCTEL Bluewave Marathon series, which specializes in rugged outdoor antennas. The series typically includes various element counts and gain configurations for different range requirements. The BMYD890K represents a mid-range gain option within the 7-element category, balancing size and performance for standard repeater sites.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. The BMYD890K-DP serves as a functional alternative only if dual polarization is acceptable. Direct replacement requires matching the 890–960 MHz frequency range, N female interface, and 2-foot cable length.
