FMBT1636

Overview

The FMBT1636 is an SMA broadband bias tee manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It features a male input connector and provides DC injection capability rated to 750 MHz and 25 Volts via a DC pin. The device operates within a frequency range of 50 KHz to 18 GHz, facilitating signal integration in RF test setups.

Feature Summary

• Integrates DC power with RF signals through a dedicated bias tee architecture
• Supports high-frequency operation up to 18 GHz for broadband applications
• Provides isolated DC pin access for controlled voltage injection

Applications

• RF component testing requiring simultaneous DC bias and signal application
• Integration into automated test equipment for active device characterization
• Signal chain assembly where DC power must be injected without disrupting RF paths

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific DC voltage rating of 25 Volts and current limits against your circuit requirements before integration. Confirm that the SMA male interface aligns with your existing fixture or cable infrastructure. Ensure the operating frequency range covers your entire signal bandwidth to maintain performance integrity during procurement validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution is needed to combine DC power with RF signals in the 50 KHz to 18 GHz range. It is suitable for applications requiring a male SMA input interface. Consider the physical size and mounting constraints if integrating into dense test fixtures or portable measurement systems.

Part Context
