FMWAN284-20SF

Antennas RF Overview

The FMWAN284-20SF is a WR-284 standard gain horn antenna manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It provides a nominal gain of 20 dBi and features an SMA female connector for interfacing. The operational frequency range spans from 2.6 GHz to 3.95 GHz. This component utilizes a waveguide structure designed for high-frequency applications within the specified band.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn configuration optimized for consistent radiation patterns
• Integrated SMA female connector for direct cable attachment
• WR-284 waveguide interface standard compliance

Antennas RF Applications

• Microwave measurement systems requiring calibrated reference antennas
• RF test setups operating in the 2.6 GHz to 3.95 GHz range
• Waveguide-to-coaxial transition applications using SMA interfaces

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and type against system requirements, as this model specifies an SMA female interface. Confirm that the WR-284 flange dimensions match the mating waveguide components in the assembly. Ensure the frequency range covers the intended operational bandwidth without significant attenuation or mismatch losses at the edges of the 2.6 GHz to 3.95 GHz spectrum.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-gain reference antenna is required for the WR-284 band. The SMA female connector simplifies integration with standard coaxial test equipment. Consider the physical size and weight implications of the WR-284 form factor compared to smaller waveguide sizes if space constraints are present in the installation environment.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairview Microwave standard gain horn antenna series. These antennas are engineered to provide predictable gain and beamwidth characteristics for accurate RF measurements. The WR-284 designation indicates the specific waveguide size, which dictates the lower frequency limit of operation around 2.6 GHz.
