FMWAN137-15

Antennas RF Overview

The FMWAN137-15 is a WR-137 standard gain horn waveguide antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 5.85 GHz to 8.2 GHz, covering the E-band spectrum. The component features a nominal gain of 15 dBi and utilizes a UG-387/U round cover flange for secure mounting. Designed for high-performance RF applications, it provides directional signal transmission and reception capabilities suitable for demanding communication systems.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn design optimized for E-band frequencies
• High directivity with 15 dBi nominal gain specification
• Compatible with UG-387/U round cover flange interface

Antennas RF Applications

• E-band wireless communication links
• Microwave point-to-point transmission systems
• Radar system front-end components
• Test and measurement instrumentation antennas

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model designation against official Fairview Microwave documentation to ensure compatibility with existing WR-137 infrastructure. Confirm that the required UG-387/U flange accessories are included or sourced separately as needed for installation. Cross-reference technical specifications with system requirements prior to acquisition.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this antenna when E-band operation between 5.85 GHz and 8.2 GHz is required. Ensure the application environment supports the physical dimensions and weight of a standard gain horn. Verify that the UG-387/U flange interface matches the mounting structure of the target system for proper mechanical integration.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave waveguide antenna family, specifically designed for rectangular waveguide applications. It complements other RF interconnects and cable assemblies in microwave system architectures. The WR-137 size indicates its suitability for higher frequency bands where coaxial solutions are less efficient.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers: FMWAN137-10 (10 dBi gain variant), FMWAN137-20 (20 dBi gain variant). These alternatives share the same WR-137 form factor and frequency range but offer different gain characteristics.
