FMBT1629

Overview

The FMBT1629 is a broadband bias tee adapter manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for RF applications within the 10 MHz to 12 GHz frequency range. It features an SMA male input connector and integrates a BNC connector for DC bias injection. The component supports high current and voltage levels, rated for up to 2.5 Amps and 100 Volts DC. Typical electrical performance includes an insertion loss of 0.8 dB, isolation of 50 dB, and a VSWR of 1.3:1.

Feature Summary

• Integrates SMA RF path with BNC DC bias port
• Supports high power DC bias up to 2.5 Amps and 100 Volts
• Provides broadband operation from 10 MHz to 12 GHz

Applications

• Biasing active RF components in test setups
• Integrating DC power into RF signal paths
• Broadband measurement systems requiring combined RF and DC connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required DC bias parameters do not exceed the 2.5 Amp and 100 Volt ratings specified for this model. Confirm compatibility between the SMA male interface and the system's RF source or load. Ensure the BNC connector aligns with available DC power supply interfaces. Check for any specific mounting requirements associated with chassis integration if applicable.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a wide bandwidth covering 10 MHz to 12 GHz is necessary alongside significant DC bias capability. It is suitable for applications requiring robust current handling up to 2.5 Amps. Consider the SMA male configuration for direct connection to standard RF equipment. Evaluate the need for BNC access versus other DC connector types before finalizing the choice.
