• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact revision status and datasheet version with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before procurement. Confirm that the operating frequency range and power specifications align precisely with system requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management solutions, as this is a power amplifier module. Check for any recent specification updates or design changes that may affect integration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 30 dB gain and 30 dBm output power are required within the 3.1-3.5 GHz band. Consider the 4.5 dB noise figure for sensitivity requirements. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs due to the power output level. Compare against other modules if wider bandwidth or different frequency ranges are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's RF amplifier portfolio, specifically targeting medium power applications. It complements other models like the FMAM4056F and FMAM4062F which cover different frequency ranges such as 2-18 GHz and 6-18 GHz respectively, offering specialized solutions for distinct microwave spectrum segments.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. The FMAM4062F covers a higher frequency range (6-18 GHz), while the FMAM4056F operates from 2-18 GHz. Direct replacement requires verifying electrical parameter overlap and mechanical fit.
