FMAM86001

Overview

The FMAM86001 is a general-purpose RF amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave, utilizing GaAs technology. It operates from DC to 1.5 GHz with a nominal gain of 14 dB. The device features an 11 dBm P1dB compression point and a 27 dBm output third-order intercept (OIP3). It requires a supply voltage between 9 V and 15 V and draws 45 mA of operating current. The unit includes SMA connectors for input and output interfaces.

Feature Summary

• DC coupled operation enabling direct coupling to baseband or low-frequency signals without external blocking capacitors.
• General-purpose design suitable for broadband amplification tasks across the specified frequency range.
• Integrated SMA connectors provide standardized interface compatibility for RF signal transmission.

Applications

• Baseband signal conditioning in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring DC-coupled amplification
• Broadband RF signal processing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturer documentation before integration. Confirm that the 9 V to 15 V supply range aligns with system power constraints. Ensure SMA connector polarity and mating requirements match existing board layouts. Check for any regional sales restrictions or availability limitations stated by authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when DC-coupled amplification is required up to 1.5 GHz. Compare the 14 dB gain and 11 dBm output power against system link budget requirements. Evaluate the 45 mA current consumption against available power resources. Consider the SMA interface standard if other system components utilize compatible connectors.

Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of general-purpose RF amplifiers. It complements other models like the FMAM86002, which offers higher gain but operates at lower frequencies. The series provides solutions for various bandwidth needs using consistent packaging and interface standards.
