FMDV1187

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The FMDV1187 is an eight-way power divider manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for signal distribution applications within the 4 GHz to 18 GHz frequency range. This component utilizes SMA connectors on all ports and is rated to handle up to 30 Watts of power. It functions as a passive RF device intended to split input signals into multiple output paths while maintaining impedance characteristics suitable for high-frequency systems.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides eight distinct output ports for signal splitting
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum from 4 GHz to 18 GHz
• Constructed with SMA connector interfaces for compatibility
• Rated for high power handling up to 30 Watts

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Multi-channel radar system signal distribution
• Wireless communication test and measurement setups
• Satellite ground station signal processing
• RF laboratory equipment and instrumentation

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify that the required power rating of 30 Watts aligns with your system's maximum signal levels to prevent component damage. Ensure that the SMA connector type matches your existing cabling infrastructure. Confirm that the operating frequency range covers your specific application bandwidth requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when an eight-way split is required rather than fewer outputs. Consider the physical size and weight implications of integrating an eight-port device into your assembly. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 30 Watt power rating to ensure stable operation under continuous load conditions without overheating.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's signal conditioning portfolio, specifically focusing on power dividers and combiners. The FMDV1187 serves as a passive distribution element, contrasting with active amplifiers or attenuators in the same catalog. It supports high-frequency applications requiring precise signal splitting capabilities.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users must verify compatibility with existing SMA-based systems if direct replacements are not listed by the manufacturer.
