FG8063

Antennas RF Overview

The FG8063 is a heavy-duty, omnidirectional fiberglass base station antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity. It operates within the UHF frequency range of 806 MHz to 866 MHz, with a center frequency of 813 MHz. The antenna provides a gain of 3 dBd (5.15 dBi) and features a collinear design enclosed in high-strength fiberglass. It supports a maximum power handling capacity of 200 W and maintains a VSWR of 2. The physical structure is a straight whip type with a maximum height of 23.375 inches (593.73 mm). Electrical connection is provided via an N-type female connector, and it utilizes bracket mounting for installation.

Antennas RF Applications

• UHF base station communications
• Public safety radio systems
• Industrial two-way radio networks

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the replacement part matches the original electrical specifications, particularly the 806-866 MHz frequency range and 3 dBd gain. Confirm mechanical compatibility regarding the N-type female connector interface and bracket mounting requirements. Ensure the new unit meets the required 200 W power rating and environmental durability standards for outdoor deployment.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when an omnidirectional solution is required for UHF frequencies between 806 MHz and 866 MHz. The choice is driven by the need for a robust fiberglass enclosure and a 3 dBd gain profile. Consider the N-type female termination and bracket mount style for system integration. The 200 W power rating dictates suitability for high-output transmitter environments.

Antennas RF Part Context

The FG8063 belongs to the family of heavy-duty outdoor RF antennas produced by TE Connectivity. It serves as a direct functional successor to the discontinued S8063B model. While the S8063B was also an omnidirectional antenna in the same band, the FG8063 offers specific structural and connector details defined by its current manufacturing specifications.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The FG8063 is the confirmed substitute for the discontinued S8063B. Both parts operate in the 806-866 MHz range. Verify that the S8063B's 5 dBi specification aligns with the FG8063's 3 dBd (approx. 5.15 dBi) performance for equivalent coverage.
