FMWAN229-20NF

Antennas RF Overview

The FMWAN229-20NF is a standard gain horn antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for operation within the S-band and C-band frequency spectrum. It features a WR-229 rectangular waveguide interface and provides a nominal gain of 20 dBi across its operational range of 3.3 GHz to 4.9 GHz. The unit utilizes a CMR-229 cover flange configuration and incorporates an N female connector for signal transmission. This component is engineered for high-performance directional applications requiring stable gain characteristics in microwave communication systems.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Provides consistent 20 dBi nominal gain across the specified frequency band
• Utilizes WR-229 rectangular waveguide interface for standardized integration
• Equipped with N female connector for reliable signal coupling

Antennas RF Applications

• S-band and C-band microwave communication links
• Point-to-point radio relay systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation setups

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the FMWAN229-20NF part number exactly, as variations exist within the same product family regarding connector types and flange styles. Confirm compatibility with existing WR-229 waveguide infrastructure before procurement. Ensure that the N female connector specification aligns with downstream cable assemblies or test equipment interfaces to prevent impedance mismatches or physical connection failures during installation.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-gain solution is required for the 3.3 GHz to 4.9 GHz range without the need for adjustable beamwidths. The WR-229 interface dictates mechanical compatibility with standard waveguide components. Consider the N female connector requirement against available mating hardware. This antenna is suitable for environments where moderate directivity and established waveguide standards are prioritized over compact form factors or broadband coverage.
