FMWAN284-15

Antennas RF Overview

The FMWAN284-15 is a WR-284 standard gain horn antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 2.6 GHz to 3.95 GHz and provides a nominal gain of 15 dBi. The component utilizes waveguide interface technology compatible with the WR-284 rectangular waveguide standard. This design supports high-directivity applications in microwave systems requiring stable radiation patterns across the specified bandwidth.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn configuration for consistent radiation characteristics
• Compatible with WR-284 waveguide standards
• Optimized for operation between 2.6 GHz and 3.95 GHz

Antennas RF Applications

• Microwave test and measurement setups
• Wireless communication link testing
• Antenna pattern measurement systems

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and flange configuration required for your system integration before ordering, as variations may exist within the product line. Confirm that the operating frequency range aligns precisely with your application requirements. Check current availability status directly with authorized distributors, as supply levels can fluctuate. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing waveguide infrastructure.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 15 dBi gain is sufficient for the link budget calculation. Consider the physical dimensions and weight constraints of the installation site. Evaluate whether a higher or lower gain variant is necessary based on distance and power requirements. Ensure the WR-284 interface matches the source and load components in the signal chain.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairview Microwave WR-284 antenna series, designed for low-band microwave frequencies. It serves as a passive radiating element within RF systems. The product complements other waveguide components such as adapters, couplers, and circulators available from the same manufacturer for complete system assembly.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

FMWAN284-15SF is a documented substitute offering identical gain and frequency performance but featuring an SMA female connector instead of the standard waveguide output. Verify if the connector change suits the specific test setup requirements.
