FMANRBD1005

Antennas RF Overview

The FMANRBD1005 is a general-purpose UHF rubber duck antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within the 400 MHz to 520 MHz frequency range and provides a gain of 2.15 dBi. The antenna features vertical polarization and utilizes an SMA male connector for interface. Its physical design includes a straight whip form factor with a length of 3.7 inches, constructed from durable rubber duck material suitable for flexible deployment.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Vertical polarization ensures consistent signal transmission in standard orientations.
• Rubber duck construction allows for flexibility and resistance to mechanical stress.
• Straight whip form factor supports compact integration into various RF systems.

Antennas RF Applications

• UHF radio communication systems
• General purpose wireless data links
• Portable two-way radio equipment

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the SMA male connector polarity matches the receiving port requirements. Confirm the operating frequency aligns strictly with the 400-520 MHz specification. Ensure environmental conditions are compatible with the rubber material properties. Check datasheet for any specific mounting constraints or torque specifications for the connector interface.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a flexible, low-profile antenna is required for UHF applications. The 2.15 dBi gain is suitable for short-range or line-of-sight communications. Consider the SMA male interface compatibility with existing system connectors. Evaluate the 3.7-inch length against spatial constraints in the installation environment.

Antennas RF Part Context

This antenna belongs to Fairview Microwave's general-purpose RF antenna lineup. It is designed for UHF band operations, distinguishing it from VHF or SHF models in the catalog. The rubber duck style offers durability compared to rigid whip antennas, making it appropriate for mobile or handheld device integration where space and flexibility are prioritized over high-gain performance.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify connector type and frequency range when evaluating alternative vendors.
