FMANOM1069

Antennas RF Overview

The FMANOM1069 is a vehicle-mounted omnidirectional antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within the 472 MHz to 482 MHz frequency band, providing a gain of 6.5 dBi. The unit features an 8 mm spring FME male connector and is housed in a black fiberglass radome. Designed for cable mount installation, it supports a power rating of 100 W with a 50-ohm impedance and a VSWR of 2. The antenna functions reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Omnidirectional radiation pattern suitable for vehicle mounting applications
• Constructed with a durable black fiberglass radome for environmental protection
• Integrated 8 mm spring FME male connector for secure cable attachment

Antennas RF Applications

• Vehicle-mounted communication systems
• Marine radio installations
• Mobile telemetry data links

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector length requirement, as this model uses an 8 mm spring FME male connector which differs from similar variants using different lengths. Confirm that the operating frequency aligns strictly with the 472 MHz to 482 MHz range. Ensure the installation environment accommodates the specified temperature limits and power handling capabilities before procurement.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact omnidirectional solution is required for the 477 MHz band. The 6.5 dBi gain offers a balance between signal strength and physical size. The FME connector type dictates compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure. Consider the black fiberglass radome for aesthetic integration or UV resistance requirements in outdoor vehicle environments.

Antennas RF Part Context

This antenna belongs to Fairview Microwave's vehicle antenna product line, categorized under omnidirectional types. It shares design similarities with other models in the series but is distinguished by its specific 8 mm spring connector dimension and 6.5 dBi gain specification. The product targets mobile RF applications requiring reliable omnidirectional coverage in harsh conditions.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The FMANOM1073 serves as a verified substitute part number. It shares identical electrical specifications including 6.5 dBi gain and 472–482 MHz operation. However, it utilizes a 5.5 mm spring FME male connector instead of the 8 mm version found in the FMANOM1069. Verify connector compatibility before substitution.
