PEWPR008-7

Antennas RF Overview

The Pasternack PEWPR008-7 is a WR-8 waveguide horn antenna designed for operation in the 90 GHz frequency range. Classified as a Super High Frequency (SHF) component, this probe-type waveguide antenna features a nominal gain of 6.5 dBi and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.5. It utilizes a standard general ISM RF series configuration and is engineered for direct waveguide mounting applications.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Provides directional signal transmission and reception capabilities within the SHF band
• Engineered with a probe design to facilitate efficient electromagnetic coupling
• Constructed for stable performance under strict VSWR specifications

Antennas RF Applications

• Millimeter-wave radar systems
• High-frequency wireless communication links
• Scientific research instrumentation
• Satellite ground station testing

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the receiving equipment supports the WR-8 waveguide interface dimensions. Confirm that the operational environment aligns with the specified 90 GHz frequency band requirements. Ensure mechanical mounting provisions are compatible with standard waveguide flange configurations prior to integration into the final assembly.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-gain solution is required specifically for the 90 GHz spectrum. The low VSWR rating indicates efficient power transfer suitable for sensitive measurement setups. Consider the physical size constraints associated with WR-8 waveguides during system layout planning.
