FMAM5055

Overview

The FMAM5055 is a radio frequency power amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for operation within the 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz frequency range. This component delivers a small signal gain of 47 dB and achieves a saturated output power of 47 dBm, equivalent to approximately 50.11 Watts. The device exhibits a gain flatness of ±2 dB across its operational bandwidth. It is categorized under EMC power amplifiers and RF amplifiers, providing high-power performance suitable for demanding low-frequency applications requiring significant signal amplification.

Feature Summary

• Provides high saturated output power of 47 dBm for robust signal transmission
• Delivers consistent 47 dB small signal gain with ±2 dB gain flatness
• Operates effectively in the low-frequency spectrum from 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz

Applications

• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing systems
• RF signal generation and amplification circuits
• Low-frequency broadcast or communication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and technical specifications directly with Fairview Microwave or authorized distributors before integration. Confirm that the operating frequency range and power requirements align with system design constraints. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for the 50-watt output level. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or supply limitations that may affect procurement timelines.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high power output at low frequencies is required. The 47 dB gain supports significant signal boosting without excessive noise. Consider the physical size and thermal dissipation needs associated with 50-watt continuous wave operation. Compare against other models in the FMAM series if higher frequencies or different gain profiles are needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave RF amplifier product line, specifically tailored for power amplification tasks. It complements other modules like the FMAM5115 and FMAM5009, which target higher frequency bands such as VHF, UHF, and microwave ranges. The FMAM5055 fills the niche for sub-30 MHz high-power applications, distinguishing itself from the lower-power LNA modules in the same family.
