FMAM5054

Overview

The FMAM5054 is a medium power GaAs RF amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within the frequency range of 18 GHz to 26.5 GHz. The device delivers a saturated output power (Psat) of 2 Watts and provides an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 40 dBm. It requires an operating supply current of 5.8 A. The module utilizes SMA connectors for interfacing and is designed for high-frequency signal amplification applications.
