FMAM4057F

Overview

The FMAM4057F is a medium power RF amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for operation within the 2 GHz to 18 GHz frequency range. This component features an integrated heatsink and delivers a P1dB output power of 2 Watts. It provides a third-order intercept point (IP3) of 40 dBm, ensuring linearity in high-performance applications. The unit operates with a supply current of 5 A and utilizes SMA connectors for interface connectivity.

Feature Summary

• Integrated heatsink design for thermal management
• Wideband operation from 2 GHz to 18 GHz
• High linearity with 40 dBm IP3 specification

Applications

• Radar systems
• Electronic warfare equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify specific datasheet revisions and manufacturer lead times directly with Fairview Microwave or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the SMA connector orientation and mounting requirements align with your system integration constraints. Ensure adequate thermal dissipation solutions are implemented given the 5 A operating current and heatsink dependency. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or compliance certifications required for your specific deployment environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when wideband coverage up to 18 GHz is required alongside moderate power output capabilities. The 40 dBm IP3 makes it suitable for linear amplification tasks where signal integrity is critical. Consider the 5 A current draw and physical dimensions during board layout planning. Compare against lower frequency alternatives if the application does not require Ku-band performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's RF amplifier series, specifically targeting medium power applications. It complements other models like the FMAM4053F, which covers lower frequencies up to 4 GHz. The FMAM4057F fills the gap for higher frequency operations requiring robust thermal handling and consistent gain characteristics across a broad spectrum.
