FMAT7520-9

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7520-9 is a fixed RF attenuator module manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It provides a nominal attenuation of 9 dB across a frequency range from 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The component features QMA connectors, with a male plug on one side and a female jack on the other, facilitating inline integration into coaxial systems. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts. The unit operates at a standard impedance of 50 Ohms, ensuring compatibility with common radio frequency infrastructure.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides precise 9 dB signal reduction for RF applications
• Operates effectively from DC up to 6 GHz frequency range
• Designed as an inline module with QMA male-to-female connectivity

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in test and measurement setups
• Inline attenuation for wireless communication systems
• Signal conditioning in microwave circuitry

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration (QMA Male to Female) against system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the 2 Watt power rating and 50 Ohm impedance align with the operational parameters of the target RF environment. Ensure the 6 GHz frequency limit meets the application's spectral needs. Check current availability status as supply may be restricted.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 9 dB attenuation is required within the 0 to 6 GHz band. The QMA interface suits applications needing quick connect/disconnect capabilities. Ensure the 2 Watt power handling is sufficient for the line power levels. Consider physical size constraints if space is limited in the assembly.
