FG4605

Antennas RF Overview

The TE Connectivity FG4605 is a heavy-duty, omni-directional fiberglass base station antenna designed for UHF applications. It operates within the 460 MHz to 470 MHz frequency range with a center frequency of 465 MHz. The antenna provides a gain of 5 dBd (approximately 7.15 dBi) and supports a maximum power input of 100 W. It features a collinear design enclosed in a durable fiberglass body with a gold-anodized sleeve to prevent oxidation. The unit measures 76 inches (193.04 cm) in height and utilizes an N-type female connector for termination. It is rated for both indoor and outdoor installation.

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision status against recent Product Change Notifications regarding manufacturing location changes and base tube diameter adjustments. Confirm that the N-type female connector interface matches the receiving equipment requirements. Ensure environmental ratings align with the intended deployment zone. Check RoHS compliance documentation for final assembly verification. Validate lead times as manufacturing processes may impact standard delivery schedules.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-gain, fixed-frequency solution is required for the 460-470 MHz band. The 100 W power handling capability distinguishes it from lower-power variants like the FG4603. Consider the 76-inch physical dimension for structural support planning. The gold-anodized finish offers superior durability compared to standard coatings in harsh environments. Ensure the N-type connector compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure before procurement.

Antennas RF Part Context

The FG4605 belongs to the TE Connectivity Antenex line of base station antennas. It is part of a family of UHF omni-directional solutions designed for reliable long-range communication. Unlike surface-mount components, this is a macro-scale RF component intended for structural integration. It complements other models in the series by offering higher gain and power handling than entry-level variants.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The FG4603 is a direct alternative within the same product line but offers lower gain (3 dBd). Verify if the reduced performance meets system requirements. No other exact substitutes are publicly confirmed; any replacement must match the 460-470 MHz bandwidth and N-type connector interface.
