PE9850B-10

Antennas RF Overview

The PE9850B-10 is a WR-28 waveguide standard gain horn antenna manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within the frequency range of 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz. The component features a nominal gain of 10 dBi and utilizes a 2.92mm female input interface. This Proline series antenna is designed for high-frequency applications requiring precise directional radiation patterns.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn design optimized for WR-28 waveguide compatibility
• Operates effectively across the 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz spectrum
• Provides consistent nominal gain performance for signal measurement

Antennas RF Applications

• RF test and measurement setups
• Satellite communication ground stations
• Microwave link testing environments

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE9850B-10 to confirm mechanical dimensions and flange types. Ensure that the receiving equipment supports the 2.92mm female interface. Confirm operational frequency requirements align with the 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz range before integration into the system architecture.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a standard gain reference is required for the K-band or V-band frequencies. The WR-28 waveguide format dictates the physical connection method. Consider the 10 dBi gain specification against alternative higher-gain horns if directivity needs exceed standard levels for the specific application geometry.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's Proline series of directional antennas. It serves as a specialized RF transducer converting waveguide energy to free space. The designation indicates a standard gain configuration rather than an ultra-high precision or broadband variant.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing WR-28 waveguide systems before considering alternative models from other manufacturers.
