FMAT7603-30

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7603-30 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It provides a nominal attenuation of 30 dB across a frequency range from DC to 18 GHz. The component features SMA male to SMA female connectors and operates with a system impedance of 50 Ohms. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 50 Watts. The device is designed for use in high-frequency signal processing applications requiring precise signal reduction within the specified bandwidth.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 30 dB signal attenuation
• Operates from DC up to 18 GHz
• Supports 50 Watt maximum power handling

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level adjustment
• Test and measurement equipment
• Communication systems

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration and power rating against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the SMA interface matches the existing system infrastructure. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance aligns with the circuit design specifications. Check for any environmental operating constraints if the application involves extreme temperatures or harsh conditions.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 30 dB reduction is required at frequencies up to 18 GHz. The 50 Watt power rating makes it suitable for higher power applications compared to standard low-power attenuators. Ensure the SMA connector type fits the available ports. Consider thermal management if continuous operation near the maximum power limit is expected.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairview Microwave line of fixed attenuators, specifically designed for interconnect applications. It serves as a passive component to manage signal strength in RF circuits. The product is categorized under RF attenuators and is distinct from variable or programmable attenuator models within the manufacturer's portfolio.
