FMAM5028

Overview

The FMAM5028 is a high-power LDMOS RF amplifier module manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 0.15 MHz to 230 MHz. The device provides a gain of 43 dB and delivers a saturated output power (Psat) of 25 Watts. It features a third-order intercept point (IP3) of 48 dBm. The module utilizes SMA connectors for both input and output interfaces. It includes an integrated heatsink for thermal management.

Feature Summary

• High power LDMOS technology for robust performance
• Broadband operation from low frequencies up to 230 MHz
• Integrated heatsink for efficient thermal dissipation

Applications

• RF signal amplification in test and measurement equipment
• Broadband communication systems requiring high linearity
• Industrial RF applications needing high output power

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before integration, as specifications may vary between revisions. Confirm that the SMA connector gender and mating requirements align with your system design. Ensure adequate thermal interface material is used with the heatsink to maintain optimal operating temperatures under full load conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this module when broadband coverage below 230 MHz is required alongside high power output. The 48 dBm IP3 indicates strong linearity for multi-tone signals. Compare against lower power variants if thermal constraints are severe or if reduced output power suffices for the application.

Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's RF amplifier module series. These modules typically integrate the amplifier die, matching networks, and protection circuits into a single shielded unit. The FMAM5028 specifically targets applications requiring high power density across a wide frequency band without discrete component tuning.
