FMWAN090-10NF

Antennas RF Overview

The FMWAN090-10NF is a general purpose horn antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for the X Band frequency range of 8.2 GHz to 12.4 GHz. It features a WR-90 standard gain configuration with a specified gain of 10 dBi. The component utilizes a Type N female connector interface and incorporates a UG-135/U type flange for waveguide mounting. This antenna serves as an RF interconnect solution for applications requiring standardized waveguide-to-coaxial transitions within the designated microwave spectrum.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn design optimized for X Band operations
• Type N female connector interface for coaxial integration
• UG-135/U type flange configuration for secure waveguide mounting

Antennas RF Applications

• X Band radar systems
• Microwave communication links
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the required connector gender matches the system interface, specifically confirming the Type N female specification. Ensure the UG-135/U flange compatibility aligns with existing waveguide infrastructure. Confirm operational frequency requirements fall within the 8.2 GHz to 12.4 GHz range before procurement to ensure functional suitability.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a standard gain horn is required for WR-90 waveguide systems. The choice depends on the necessity for a Type N female interface rather than other common waveguide connectors. Consider the 10 dBi gain specification relative to link budget requirements and the specific X Band application environment.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave RF Antenna category, specifically within the WR-90 standard gain horn series. It represents a specialized interconnect device bridging waveguide structures to coaxial transmission lines, distinct from passive connector accessories or active amplifiers.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

FMWAN090-10SF is a documented alternative variant featuring an SMA female connector instead of Type N. Verify interface compatibility before substitution.
