PE9859B-15

Antennas RF Overview

The PE9859B-15 is a standard gain horn antenna manufactured by Pasternack, designed for waveguide applications. It operates within the frequency range of 5.85 GHz to 8.2 GHz. The component provides a nominal gain of 15 dBi. It features a CMR-137 flange interface for secure mounting and alignment. This directional antenna is engineered for precise signal transmission and reception in microwave systems requiring stable performance across its specified bandwidth.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn design for consistent radiation patterns
• CMR-137 flange interface for standardized mounting
• Optimized for X-band waveguide frequency operations

Antennas RF Applications

• Microwave communication link testing
• Antenna pattern measurement setups
• Radar system calibration

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model designation PE9859B-15 against official Pasternack documentation to confirm the 5.85-8.2 GHz range and 15 dBi gain specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing CMR-137 waveguide interfaces. Request the current datasheet to validate mechanical dimensions and electrical performance tolerances prior to integration into final assemblies.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this antenna when a fixed 15 dBi gain is required within the 5.85 to 8.2 GHz spectrum. The CMR-137 flange dictates mechanical compatibility; verify that mating waveguide components support this standard. Consider environmental sealing requirements if outdoor deployment is intended, as standard gain horns may require additional protection.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's Directional Antennas series, specifically focusing on waveguide standard gain horns. These antennas are distinct from omnidirectional types, providing focused energy transfer essential for point-to-point microwave links and laboratory measurements where predictable beamwidth and gain are critical for system accuracy.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

PE9856B-20: Offers higher gain (20 dBi) but operates at a different frequency range (8.2-12.4 GHz). Verify frequency overlap and gain requirements before substitution.
