Pctel MFBW8903 890-960 MHz Fiberglass BaseStation Omnidirectional Antenna N Male

The PCTEL MFBW8903 is a factory-tuned omnidirectional base station antenna engineered for the 890–960 MHz frequency range, making it well-suited for land mobile radio, public safety, and industrial wireless infrastructure deployments operating in that band. The antenna features a pultruded white fiberglass radome with UV resistance for long-term outdoor durability, paired with a thick-walled aluminum mounting base that withstands the mechanical demands of permanent mast or wall installations. A DC-grounded design provides built-in ESD protection, and the 100 mph wind survival rating supports reliable performance in exposed outdoor environments. With a 50-ohm impedance, 150-watt maximum power handling, and an N Female connector, the MFBW8903 integrates cleanly into professional base station infrastructure without requiring field tuning.

Key features & benefits

• Factory-Tuned 890–960 MHz Coverage — Pre-tuned at the factory for the full 890–960 MHz band, ensuring consistent RF performance across the entire operating range without requiring field adjustments at installation.
• Omnidirectional Radiation Pattern — Provides 360-degree horizontal coverage, making this antenna ideal for base station applications where uniform signal distribution to surrounding mobile or portable units is required.
• UV-Resistant Pultruded Fiberglass Radome — The 1.0-inch OD pultruded white fiberglass radome resists UV degradation, maintaining structural and electrical integrity over years of continuous outdoor exposure.
• DC Grounded for ESD Protection — The DC-grounded architecture provides a discharge path for electrostatic buildup, helping protect connected equipment from ESD-related damage in outdoor installations.
• 100 mph Wind Survival Rating — Rated to survive wind speeds up to 100 mph, supporting dependable mechanical performance in rooftop, tower, and wall-mounted deployments subject to high-wind conditions.
• 150-Watt Maximum Power Handling — Supports up to 150 watts of transmit power, accommodating high-power base station transmitters common in commercial and public safety land mobile radio systems.
• Mast or Wall Mounting Flexibility — The thick-walled aluminum mounting base with a 1-5/16-inch diameter accommodates both mast and wall mounting configurations, with compatibility for PCTEL mounting hardware kits MMK1, MMK3, MMK4, MMK6, MMK9, and MBSWM (sold separately).
• N Female Connector Interface — Terminates in a standard N Female connector, providing a robust, weatherproof RF interface compatible with professional-grade coaxial assemblies used in base station deployments.
