FR450

Antennas RF Overview

The FR450 is a single-band UHF external mount antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity. It operates within the 450–470 MHz frequency range and provides an omnidirectional radiation pattern with a peak gain of less than 3 dBi. The unit features a 12-inch lead cable terminating in an N-type female connector for secure attachment. Designed for bracket mounting, the fiberglass antenna measures approximately 863.60 mm in height. This configuration supports reliable RF transmission in applications requiring consistent coverage across the specified ultra-high frequency band.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Omnidirectional radiation pattern ensures uniform signal distribution
• Fiberglass construction provides durability for external environments
• N-type female termination facilitates secure cable connections

Antennas RF Applications

• UHF radio communication systems
• Industrial wireless telemetry networks
• Marine VHF/UHF communication setups

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the required operating frequency aligns strictly with the 450–470 MHz specification to ensure optimal performance. Confirm that the N-type female connector matches the mating interface of the connected transceiver or coaxial cable assembly. Ensure the mounting location accommodates the physical dimensions and allows for proper clearance to maintain the intended omnidirectional radiation characteristics without obstruction.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-gain, single-band solution is required for UHF frequencies. The integrated lead length simplifies installation compared to models requiring separate cabling. Consider the bracket mounting style if surface or pole attachment is preferred over direct panel integration. Evaluate environmental exposure requirements against the fiberglass material properties for long-term reliability.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the TE Connectivity FR series of antennas, which are engineered for robust RF connectivity in various industrial and commercial sectors. The FR450 specifically addresses needs for standardized UHF band operations where a compact, pre-assembled antenna with integrated cabling reduces installation complexity while maintaining signal integrity.
