FMAM5114

Overview

The FMAM5114 is a high-power GaN RF amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 700 MHz to 2.7 GHz and provides a gain of 46 dB. The device delivers a saturated output power (Psat) of 20 Watts. It features a Type N output connector for signal transmission.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology for high-power performance
• Provides 46 dB gain across the specified frequency band
• Includes a Type N output connector interface

Applications

• RF signal amplification in wireless communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring high power output
• Broadband applications operating between 700 MHz and 2.7 GHz

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Fairview Microwave channels or certified distributors. Confirm that the received unit matches the FMAM5114 model number and specifications exactly. Check for physical damage to the Type N connector before integration. Ensure supply chain documentation supports traceability requirements for critical RF infrastructure deployments.

Selection Notes

Select this amplifier when a 20 Watt Psat output is required within the 700 MHz to 2.7 GHz spectrum. The GaN technology offers advantages in power density compared to other semiconductor options. Consider the Type N connector compatibility with existing system cabling. Evaluate thermal management needs due to high power dissipation characteristics inherent to this class of amplifier.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave RF amplifier product line, specifically designed for high-power applications. It complements other models like the FMAM5115 which offers higher saturation power but utilizes SMA connectors. The FMAM5114 fills a niche for systems requiring robust Type N interfaces with significant gain and power output capabilities in the sub-3 GHz range.

Replacement Considerations

The FMAM5115 serves as a related alternative offering 50 Watt Psat, though it uses an SMA connector instead of Type N. Designers must verify connector compatibility and power handling differences when substituting components.
