FMWAN284-20NF

Antennas RF Overview

The FMWAN284-20NF is a standard gain horn antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within the WR-284 waveguide frequency range of 2.6 GHz to 3.95 GHz. The component provides a nominal gain of 20 dBi and features an N female connector for interfacing. Designed for waveguide mounting, it serves as a precision radiating element in microwave systems requiring defined radiation patterns and consistent gain characteristics across its specified bandwidth.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn design for predictable radiation patterns
• Integrated N female connector for coaxial interface
• Optimized for WR-284 waveguide band operation

Antennas RF Applications

• Microwave test and measurement setups
• Wireless communication link testing
• Antenna characterization and calibration

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix against official Fairview Microwave documentation to ensure correct gain and connector specifications. Confirm operational frequency alignment with system requirements before procurement. Check current distribution status as availability may vary by region. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing waveguide flanges and mounting structures.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-gain reference radiator is required for the 2.6–3.95 GHz range. The N female interface simplifies connection to standard coaxial test equipment. Consider physical dimensions and weight for installation constraints. Evaluate polarization requirements against application needs.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave’s horn antenna series designed for millimeter-wave applications. It complements other waveguide components such as adapters and attenuators in complete RF test solutions. The product line focuses on high-performance interconnects and antennas for laboratory and industrial environments.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

FMWAN284-15NF offers similar form factor with 15 dBi gain. Verify if reduced gain meets system link budget requirements. Both parts share identical frequency ranges and connector types.
