FMAM3500

Overview

The FMAM3500 is a broadband high-gain RF amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 1 GHz to 20 GHz and provides a gain of 60 dB. The unit requires an 115 VAC power supply and features SMA connectors. It is designed for general-purpose applications requiring significant signal amplification across a wide microwave spectrum.

Feature Summary

• Provides 60 dB of broadband gain across the 1 GHz to 20 GHz frequency range
• Utilizes SMA interface connectors for signal input and output
• Operates using a 115 VAC power supply configuration

Applications

• General-purpose RF signal amplification
• Broadband microwave system integration
• Test and measurement equipment signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific power supply requirements, as the FMAM3500 utilizes 115 VAC rather than standard DC voltages found in many other RF components. Confirm connector compatibility with existing SMA infrastructure. Check current distribution availability, as stock status may vary by region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide operational bandwidth from 1 GHz to 20 GHz is required alongside high gain specifications. Ensure the system design accommodates the 115 VAC power requirement. Compare against lower-frequency or lower-gain alternatives if the full 20 GHz range is not necessary for the application.

Part Context

This amplifier belongs to the Fairview Microwave RF amplifier product line, which includes various low-noise and power amplifiers. The FMAM3500 is categorized under general-purpose amplifiers within the wireless and RF integrated circuits subcategory, distinct from specialized waveguide or narrowband designs.
