FMWAN090-20NF

Antennas RF Overview

The FMWAN090-20NF 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 20 dBi. The unit features a Type N female connector for coaxial interface compatibility. Mechanical construction utilizes a horn style design with a UG-135/U type flange configuration, ensuring secure waveguide mounting. This component serves as a waveguide-to-coaxial adapter solution, integrating high-performance radiation characteristics with standard RF connectivity for precise signal transmission in specialized communication systems.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Provides 20 dBi standard gain performance across the specified X-band operational spectrum
• Integrates a Type N female connector for direct coaxial cable attachment
• Utilizes a UG-135/U type flange for standardized waveguide mechanical mounting

Antennas RF Applications

• X-band radar systems requiring directional signal transmission
• Microwave communication links utilizing WR-90 waveguide infrastructure
• Test and measurement setups needing calibrated horn antenna sources

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and flange type against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the operating frequency range aligns with the intended application bandwidth. Check for any environmental sealing requirements if outdoor deployment is planned. Ensure that the mating coaxial cables are rated for the corresponding frequency range to maintain signal integrity. Review manufacturer documentation for detailed mechanical dimensions and torque specifications.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-gain, high-directivity source is required for X-band applications. Consider the Type N interface if existing coaxial infrastructure dictates connection methods. Evaluate the physical size constraints imposed by the horn geometry and UG-135/U flange. Compare alternative models if different gain levels or connector types such as SMA or V-type are necessary for the specific system architecture.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave WR-90 antenna series, designed specifically for X-band operations. It complements other waveguide accessories like shims and power dividers within the same frequency band. The product line focuses on providing reliable, high-performance interconnect solutions for military, aerospace, and industrial microwave applications where precision and durability are critical.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

FMWAN090-10 offers lower gain (10 dBi) but shares the same WR-90 form factor. FMWAN090-20ELNF may provide similar electrical characteristics with potential environmental sealing differences. Verify flange compatibility and connector type when substituting to ensure mechanical fit.
