FMAT9017

Overview

The FMAT9017 is a field-replaceable gain equalizer manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for high-frequency applications. It operates within the frequency range of 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz. The component provides a positive slope equalization characteristic with a gain adjustment range of 3 dB to 5 dB. Its insertion loss ranges from 3 dB to 5.5 dB. The device utilizes a 2.92mm connector interface and supports a maximum input power of 30 dBm. It features four fixed equalizing values to tailor signal amplitude response.

Feature Summary

• Provides positive slope gain equalization for signal amplitude correction
• Field-replaceable design facilitates maintenance in active systems
• Supports operation up to 40 GHz with defined insertion loss characteristics

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement instrumentation
• Microwave communication system calibration
• Signal integrity optimization in RF test setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific equalizing value configuration required for your application, as the unit offers four fixed options. Confirm that the 2.92mm interface matches your existing infrastructure. Ensure the maximum input power rating of 30 dBm aligns with your system's signal levels to prevent damage. Check availability through authorized distributors as supply status may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a positive slope equalization profile is needed between 26.5 GHz and 40 GHz. Consider the 3 dB to 5.5 dB insertion loss impact on system budget. The field-replaceable nature makes it suitable for environments requiring periodic recalibration or maintenance without full assembly replacement.
