FMWAN090-10

Antennas RF Overview

The FMWAN090-10 is a WR-90 standard gain horn antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within the X-band frequency range of 8.2 GHz to 12.4 GHz and provides a nominal gain of 10 dBi. The unit features a UG-135/U type flange for waveguide connection. This component is designed for high-performance microwave applications requiring precise signal transmission and reception in defined frequency bands.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn design optimized for X-band operations
• UG-135/U flange configuration for secure waveguide mounting
• Consistent radiation pattern characteristics across the operating bandwidth

Antennas RF Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Radar test and measurement setups
• Antenna characterization laboratories

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific flange type and frequency range against system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the UG-135/U interface matches existing waveguide infrastructure. Ensure operational frequencies fall strictly within the 8.2 GHz to 12.4 GHz specification to maintain performance integrity.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a standard gain reference is required for X-band measurements. Consider the physical dimensions and mounting constraints associated with the UG-135/U flange. Evaluate environmental factors if the antenna will be used outside controlled laboratory settings.

Antennas RF Part Context

This antenna belongs to the WR-90 waveguide series, which is standardized for the 8.2–12.4 GHz band. It serves as a fundamental component in microwave engineering for calibration and testing purposes. The design prioritizes predictable gain and phase center stability over wideband operation.
