FMAM1083

Overview

The FMAM1083 is a low noise coaxial packaged amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates across a broadband frequency range from 10 MHz to 1 GHz. Key electrical specifications include a typical noise figure of 1.4 dB, a small signal gain of 30 dB, an output P1dB of +29 dBm, and an output IP3 of +42 dBm. The maximum RF input power is rated at +15 dBm.

Feature Summary

• Provides low noise amplification with high linearity performance suitable for sensitive receiver front-ends.
• Operates over a wide bandwidth spanning from 10 MHz to 1 GHz.
• Features a coaxial package design for integration into standard RF systems.

Applications

• Receiver front-end stages requiring minimal noise addition
• Broadband communication systems operating below 1 GHz
• Test and measurement equipment signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as performance metrics like noise figure and gain are typically listed as typical values rather than guaranteed minimums or maximums. Confirm that the application environment supports the specified maximum RF input power of +15 dBm to prevent device damage. Ensure the system impedance matches the component requirements for optimal performance.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a wide operational bandwidth from 10 MHz to 1 GHz is required alongside high linearity indicated by the +42 dBm output IP3. The +29 dBm output P1dB suggests suitability for applications needing significant signal swing without compression. Consider the coaxial packaging constraints regarding physical integration and thermal management compared to surface mount alternatives.
