Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector variant required, as the base model designation may correspond to different interface options such as SMA or N-type. Confirm that the WR-187 flange compatibility matches your existing waveguide infrastructure. Ensure the operating frequency aligns with the 3.94 GHz to 5.99 GHz specification before finalizing procurement.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard gain reference is needed for the WR-187 band. Consider the connector type carefully, as variants exist with SMA or N interfaces. Ensure the application requires the specific 20 dBi gain profile and that the physical size of the horn antenna fits the available space in the test environment.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of standard gain horn antennas. These components are engineered for precision RF applications where predictable gain and pattern stability are critical. The WR-187 designation indicates the waveguide size, defining the physical and electrical characteristics of the antenna structure.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the WR-187 waveguide size and provide comparable 20 dBi gain. Verify connector compatibility, as variants like FMWAN187-20SF (SMA) or FMWAN187-20NF (N-type) exist. Ensure the replacement supports the 3.94 GHz to 5.99 GHz frequency range.
