Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact flange type and polarization options available for this model. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the official datasheet before integration. Ensure that the WR-28 waveguide dimensions match your system requirements. Check current availability as supply may be limited. Request updated documentation directly from Fairview Microwave for precise mechanical drawings.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when high directivity is required in the 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz range. The 20 dBi gain makes it suitable for point-to-point applications where signal strength is critical. Consider the narrow beamwidths for precise alignment needs. Compare against lower gain variants if wider coverage is preferred over distance. Ensure compatibility with WR-28 waveguide interfaces.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave FMWAN series of waveguide antennas. It complements other WR-28 accessories like shims and mixers. The product line focuses on high-frequency interconnect solutions. It serves as a radiating element for waveguide-based RF systems. The series provides standardized interfaces for easy integration.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

FMWAN028-15KM is a related variant within the same product family. FMWAN028-10OMT offers dual-polarized functionality. FMWAN028-20KF provides higher gain but different beamwidths. Verify flange compatibility when substituting.
