FMWAN159-15NF

Antennas RF Overview

The FMWAN159-15NF is a WR-159 standard gain horn antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It features an N female connector interface and provides a nominal gain of 15 dBi. The component is designed for operation within the WR-159 waveguide frequency band, typically spanning approximately 4.64 GHz to 7.05 GHz. Constructed as a directional antenna, it serves as a reference source in RF measurement setups.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn design providing consistent radiation patterns
• Integrated N female connector for direct cable attachment
• Optimized for high-gain directional transmission applications

Antennas RF Applications

• RF test and measurement reference sources
• Antenna characterization and pattern testing
• Microwave link point-to-point communication systems

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm exact frequency limits and VSWR specifications prior to integration. Ensure the mating N-type connector on the host system matches the gender and thread standards required for secure mechanical engagement. Confirm environmental ratings if outdoor deployment is intended.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 15 dBi gain is required for WR-159 band operations. The N female interface dictates the necessary cabling or adapter requirements for system integration. Consider physical size constraints as horn antennas occupy more space than isotropic references.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairview Microwave WR-159 antenna series, which covers the E-band frequency range. Standard gain horns in this family provide predictable performance for calibration purposes. The N connector offers compatibility with common coaxial infrastructure.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other WR-159 standard gain horns with identical 15 dBi gain and N female interfaces from alternative manufacturers. Verify that replacement units maintain the same flange dimensions and electrical centering to ensure mechanical fit.
