FMWAN1165

Antennas RF Overview

The FMWAN1165 is a broadband horn antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for dual-polarized operation within the 0.8 GHz to 2 GHz frequency range. It provides a nominal gain of 6 dBi and utilizes an SMA female connector for signal interfacing. The unit is classified as an outdoor antenna with a horn mechanical form factor. This component supports applications requiring wideband coverage in the lower microwave spectrum.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Dual polarization capability for enhanced signal reception versatility
• Broadband operational range covering 0.8 GHz to 2 GHz
• Horn mechanical structure optimized for outdoor environmental conditions

Antennas RF Applications

• Wireless communication base station testing
• Satellite ground station link analysis
• RF system calibration and measurement setups

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision (e.g., REV 1 A) against the supplier documentation prior to ordering. Confirm that the SMA female interface matches the test equipment requirements. Ensure the dual-polarization specification aligns with the intended application's signal processing capabilities. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with similar single-polarization models.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when wideband coverage below 2 GHz is required alongside dual-polarization support. Consider the 6 dBi gain level relative to link budget calculations. Evaluate the SMA connector compatibility with existing RF chains. Compare physical dimensions and weight against installation constraints if mounting space is limited.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave’s broadband horn antenna series, which includes various models covering different frequency bands. The FMWAN1165 specifically targets the sub-2 GHz segment, distinguishing itself from higher-frequency waveguide or standard gain horn variants. It complements other antennas in the lineup by offering dual-polarization features not present in all family members.
