PE9858B/SF-15

Antennas RF Overview

The Pasternack PE9858B/SF-15 is a WR-112 waveguide standard gain horn antenna designed for the SHF frequency range. It operates from 7.05 GHz to 10 GHz with a nominal gain of 15 dBi. The unit features an SMA female input connector and utilizes a waveguide mount interface. Constructed for high-performance RF applications, it provides consistent directional radiation patterns within its specified bandwidth.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn design optimized for WR-112 waveguide dimensions
• SMA female connector for direct coaxial integration
• Nominal 15 dBi gain across the operational bandwidth

Antennas RF Applications

• Microwave test and measurement setups
• RF link budget verification
• Antenna pattern characterization

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type required for your system architecture before ordering. Confirm that the SMA female interface aligns with existing cable assemblies. Ensure the WR-112 waveguide size matches the receiving equipment's physical port specifications to guarantee proper mechanical fit and electrical performance.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 15 dBi gain is required for the 7.05–10 GHz band. Consider the SMA interface if low-loss coaxial connections are preferred over waveguide flanges. Evaluate the physical dimensions against available space in the RF chain. Compare against other Pasternack horn models if different gain or frequency ranges are needed.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack’s Proline series of waveguide horn antennas. These devices are engineered for precision microwave applications requiring stable gain and predictable radiation patterns. The series typically includes variants with different connectors and gain levels to suit diverse testing environments.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The PE9858B/NF-15 serves as a functional alternative with N-type female connectivity. Verify that the connector change does not impact impedance matching or require adapter usage in the signal path.
