FMAMA5092

Overview

The FMAMA5092 is a bench-top RF amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It utilizes GaAs and GaN technology to deliver 44 dB gain with a saturated output power (Psat) of 25 Watts. The device operates across a broadband frequency range from 20 MHz to 550 MHz. It features SMA connectors for input and output interfaces. The unit requires AC power, supporting 110/240VAC input voltages. A heatsink is integrated into the design to manage thermal performance during high-power operation.

Feature Summary

• Broadband amplification capability spanning from low frequencies up to 550 MHz
• High power output saturation at 25 Watts using combined GaAs and GaN technology
• Integrated heatsink body for thermal management in bench-top applications

Applications

• Bench-top RF testing and measurement setups
• Signal generation and amplification for laboratory environments
• Wideband communication system prototyping

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage configuration required for your region, as the model supports both 110V and 240V AC inputs. Confirm that the SMA connector types match your test equipment interface requirements. Ensure adequate ventilation around the heatsink during operation to maintain specified performance levels and prevent thermal throttling.

Selection Notes

Select this model when wideband coverage from 20 MHz to 550 MHz is required alongside significant power amplification. It is suitable for applications needing 25W Psat without the complexity of discrete component assembly. Consider the bench-top form factor if portability is not a primary constraint compared to modular or rack-mounted alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of specialized RF amplifiers designed for high-power applications. Unlike smaller module-based amplifiers, this unit is engineered for stationary use, providing robust signal conditioning for research and development tasks requiring stable, high-gain performance across a broad spectrum.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are documented for this specific model. Users requiring similar specifications should evaluate other Fairview Microwave bench-top amplifiers or comparable high-power GaN/GaAs solutions from alternative manufacturers, ensuring matching gain, frequency, and power ratings.
