PEWAN051-15

Antennas RF Overview

The PEWAN051-15 is a Ku-band standard gain horn antenna manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 15 GHz to 22 GHz and provides a nominal gain of 15 dBi. The component utilizes a WR-51 waveguide interface, designed for high-frequency signal transmission applications requiring directional radiation patterns.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Standard gain horn design optimized for Ku-band performance
• WR-51 waveguide flange mount configuration
• Nominal 15 dBi gain across the operational frequency spectrum

Antennas RF Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation
• Satellite ground station equipment

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet documentation for precise mechanical dimensions and impedance characteristics. Confirm that the WR-51 waveguide interface matches the system requirements. Ensure environmental ratings align with the intended deployment conditions before finalizing procurement decisions.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-gain horn solution is required for the 15-22 GHz band. The WR-51 interface dictates compatibility with existing waveguide infrastructure. Consider physical mounting constraints associated with flange-mounted horn antennas during system integration planning.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's RF Antennas product line, specifically categorized under waveguide antennas. It serves as a passive radiating element within microwave frequency circuits, distinct from active components like amplifiers or cable assemblies found in related product categories.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

PEWAN051-15ELSF is a documented variant featuring an End Launch SMA Female connector instead of the standard waveguide flange. Verify interface compatibility before substitution.
