FMAM1084

Overview

The FMAM1084 is a low noise amplifier module manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates as a general-purpose RF amplifier within the frequency range of 820 MHz to 960 MHz. The device provides a gain of 17 dB and maintains a noise figure of 2 dB. It features a P1dB compression point of 30 dBm. Power requirements include a supply voltage of 8V to 12V and a current draw of 500mA. The unit utilizes SMA connectors and is designed for base mounting.

Feature Summary

• Provides low noise amplification with a specified 2 dB noise figure
• Delivers high output power capability indicated by a 30 dBm P1dB rating
• Operates across the 820 MHz to 960 MHz frequency band
• Features SMA connector interfaces for signal input and output

Applications

• General purpose RF signal amplification
• Wireless communication systems operating in the 820-960 MHz range
• Test and measurement equipment requiring low noise performance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as manufacturing specifications may evolve. Confirm that the required supply voltage falls within the 8V to 12V range and that the system can provide at least 500mA of current. Ensure mechanical compatibility for base mounting and verify SMA connector gender and interface standards before integration into the final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a moderate gain of 17 dB is sufficient for the application. The 2 dB noise figure makes it suitable for sensitive receiver front ends. Consider the physical dimensions and thermal management requirements associated with base-mounted modules. Verify that the 820 MHz to 960 MHz operational bandwidth aligns with the target signal frequencies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairview Microwave RF amplifier portfolio, specifically categorized under general-purpose amplifiers. It is distinct from their GaN or GaAs high-power variants by its focus on low noise characteristics. The module format integrates the amplifier circuitry into a shielded enclosure with integrated connectors for ease of deployment.

Replacement Considerations

FMAM4026 is listed as a parameter equivalent alternative by distributors. Both parts share similar frequency ranges and connector types. Verify electrical parameters such as gain and noise figure against the new datasheet to ensure functional equivalence.
