FMDV1038A

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The FMDV1038A is an eight-way power divider manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for signal conditioning applications. It utilizes N-type connectors and operates within a frequency range of 698 MHz to 2.7 GHz. The component is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 30 Watts. Key electrical specifications include a minimum isolation of 20 dB and a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.4. The unit weighs approximately 390 grams and is packaged individually in a bag.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides eight-way signal splitting capability using N-type interface connectors
• Operates effectively across the 698 MHz to 2.7 GHz frequency spectrum
• Ensures signal integrity with a minimum isolation of 20 dB between ports
• Maintains impedance matching with a maximum VSWR of 1.4

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Multi-channel RF distribution systems requiring equal signal splitting
• Test and measurement setups involving signal monitoring at multiple points
• Wireless communication infrastructure utilizing N-type connector standards
• Signal conditioning networks operating within the specified frequency range

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet documentation from Fairview Microwave or authorized distributors to confirm current manufacturing status and technical compliance. Ensure that the required power rating of 30 Watts aligns with your system's operational limits. Confirm that the N-type connector interfaces match your existing hardware requirements. Check for any RoHS compliance certifications if necessary for your regulatory environment. Validate the physical dimensions and weight against your installation constraints before finalizing procurement.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when an eight-way split is required within the 698 MHz to 2.7 GHz band. The N-type interface makes it suitable for applications where robustness and standard industrial connectors are preferred over smaller form factors. Consider the 30 Watt power rating to ensure it meets the system's power handling needs. The 20 dB isolation specification is critical for minimizing cross-talk between output channels. Evaluate the physical size and weight, as the unit is heavier than typical cable assemblies.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's signal conditioning product line, specifically categorized under power dividers. It complements other components like the FMDV1052, which offers similar functionality but with different frequency ranges and power ratings. The FMDV1038A is distinct from cable assemblies such as the FMCA series, serving as a discrete active/passive hybrid component rather than a passive interconnect. It fits into broader RF system designs requiring precise signal distribution.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

The FMDV1034A serves as a related alternative within the same product family, offering three-way division instead of eight-way. Both share the N-type interface and similar frequency capabilities up to 2.7 GHz. When replacing, verify that the change in division ratio does not impact the system's signal distribution requirements. Ensure the power handling and isolation specifications remain adequate for the new configuration.
