FMAMA5097

Overview

The FMAMA5097 is a broadband GaAs power amplifier module from Fairview Microwave, designed for bench-top applications. It operates within a frequency range of 6 GHz to 18 GHz and delivers a typical gain of 35 dB. The device provides an output saturated power (Psat) of 2 Watts. It utilizes AC power input, supporting 110/240VAC, and includes an integrated heatsink for thermal management.

Feature Summary

• Broadband operation across the 6 GHz to 18 GHz spectrum
• High power output capability with 2W Psat
• Integrated heatsink for efficient thermal dissipation
• AC powered design suitable for bench-top environments

Applications

• Bench-top testing and measurement setups
• Wideband signal generation systems
• RF component characterization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific AC voltage requirement (110V or 240V) against your local power infrastructure before procurement. Confirm that the included heatsink meets the thermal requirements of your specific test environment. Ensure compatibility with standard RF interconnects used in your laboratory setup.

Selection Notes

Select this model when wideband coverage from 6 GHz to 18 GHz is required alongside high output power. The AC-powered form factor distinguishes it from DC-biased modules, making it ideal for standalone bench use. Consider the integrated heatsink as a key feature for maintaining performance without external cooling solutions.

Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of RF amplifier modules. It is categorized as a GaAs power amplifier, distinct from lower-power LNA or mid-range PA models. The module format simplifies integration into test benches compared to discrete chip-level amplifiers.
