FMAM4060

Overview

The FMAM4060 is a medium power RF amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for operation within the 6 GHz to 12 GHz frequency range. It delivers a nominal gain of 40 dB and achieves a saturated output power (P1dB) of 1 Watt. The component utilizes SMA connectors for signal interfacing and is compliant with RoHS standards. This unit is classified as a general-purpose power amplifier suitable for broadband applications requiring high gain and moderate output power in the microwave spectrum.

Feature Summary

• Provides 40 dB of nominal gain across the operational bandwidth
• Delivers 1 Watt P1dB output power capability
• Operates effectively from 6 GHz to 12 GHz
• Features SMA interface connectors

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Radar signal processing
• Test and measurement instrumentation
• Broadband amplification modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the FMAM4060 to confirm current manufacturing status and detailed electrical characteristics. Ensure that the SMA connector type matches system requirements. Check for any recent updates regarding RoHS compliance documentation or supply chain restrictions before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select the FMAM4060 when a fixed 40 dB gain and 1 Watt output are required within the 6-12 GHz band. Consider thermal management solutions due to the power output level. Compare against other models like the FMAM4061F if a wider 6-18 GHz range is needed instead of the narrower 6-12 GHz specification provided here.

Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's portfolio of RF amplifiers, specifically targeting the C-band and lower X-band frequencies. It serves as a solution for engineers needing reliable mid-power amplification with high gain characteristics. The product line typically includes various gain and frequency options to support diverse microwave design requirements.

Replacement Considerations

The FMAM4061F offers a similar 1 Watt output but extends the frequency range to 18 GHz. The FMAM4062F also provides 1 Watt output but covers 6-18 GHz. Verify if the extended bandwidth of these alternatives is necessary for the specific application.
