FMBT1637

Overview

The FMBT1637 is a broadband bias tee manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for RF applications spanning from 50 kHz to 26 GHz. This component integrates an SMA connector interface on the signal path and a DC BNC connector for power injection. It is rated to handle up to 750 MHz continuous wave power and withstands voltages of 25 Volts. The device facilitates simultaneous transmission of RF signals and DC bias current through a single port, ensuring isolation between the two domains within its specified frequency range.

Feature Summary

• Integrates SMA signal interface with DC BNC power injection port
• Provides broadband operation across 50 kHz to 26 GHz range
• Enables simultaneous RF signal and DC bias transmission

Applications

• RF circuit testing and measurement setups requiring bias injection
• Active antenna systems needing combined DC power and RF signal paths
