FMAT7451-20

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7451-20 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for signal conditioning in RF systems. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz and provides a precise attenuation value of 20 dB. The component features 4.3-10 connectors, specifically configured as a male plug to female jack inline module. It is rated for an impedance of 50 Ohms and can handle a maximum power level of 2 Watts. The unit maintains a VSWR of 1.3:1, ensuring efficient signal transmission with minimal reflection across its specified bandwidth.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 20 dB attenuation for signal level reduction
• Utilizes 4.3-10 connector interface for high-frequency applications
• Supports operation up to 6 GHz frequency range
• Rated for 2 Watts maximum power handling capacity

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal path attenuation in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment calibration
• Signal conditioning for wireless infrastructure

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration (male plug to female jack) matches your system requirements. Confirm that the 2 Watt power rating and 20 dB attenuation value align with your design specifications. Ensure compatibility with 4.3-10 connector standards for your application environment.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 20 dB loss is required within the 6 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 4.3-10 interface for high-density or high-performance connections. Evaluate the 2 Watt power limit against your system's maximum output levels to prevent damage.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of fixed attenuators, which are passive components used to reduce signal strength without distortion. These devices are essential for protecting sensitive receivers and matching impedance levels in RF circuits. The 4.3-10 series offers improved performance over traditional N-type connectors.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 20 dB fixed attenuators from Fairview Microwave using the 4.3-10 interface, such as the FMAT7451-3 for different attenuation values. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 50 Ohm impedance and 6 GHz frequency range.
