FMAM1080

Overview

The FMAM1080 is a low noise coaxial packaged amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates across a broadband frequency range from 1 GHz to 6 GHz. The component provides high gain with a typical noise figure of 2.5 dB and an output power of +17 dBm. It requires a single positive supply voltage between 4.5 V and 5.5 V, drawing approximately 90 mA of current. The unit features SMA connectors for input and output interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Broadband amplification capability spanning 1 GHz to 6 GHz
• Low noise figure performance suitable for sensitive signal chains
• Coaxial package design for reliable RF integration

Applications

• Aerospace & Defense systems
• Test & Measurement equipment
• Microwave Radio Systems
• Military & Commercial Communication Systems
• Research & Development laboratories

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before procurement, as performance metrics may vary slightly between production batches. Confirm that the required supply voltage and current draw align with your system's power budget. Ensure SMA connector compatibility with existing PCB traces or cable assemblies. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to your project.

Selection Notes

Select this model when broadband coverage from 1 GHz to 6 GHz is required without multiple discrete stages. Consider the 2.5 dB noise figure for front-end applications where signal integrity is critical. Evaluate the +17 dBm output power against load requirements to prevent saturation. Compare against narrower bandwidth alternatives if specific frequency isolation is needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's family of low noise amplifiers designed for RF and microwave applications. It complements other models in the series that cover different frequency bands, such as lower frequency general-purpose amplifiers or higher frequency specialized variants. The coaxial packaging distinguishes it from surface-mount options.
