FMFD4001

Overview

The FMFD4001 is a signal conditioning component classified as a frequency divider module. It operates within a frequency range of 500 MHz to 18 GHz, functioning as a divide-by-4 prescaler. The device utilizes an SMA interface and is packaged in a bag for distribution. Manufactured by Fairview Microwave, this unit weighs approximately 39.463 grams.

Feature Summary

• Functions as a divide-by-4 prescaler module for signal conditioning applications
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum from 500 MHz up to 18 GHz
• Utilizes SMA connector interface for integration

Applications

• Frequency division in RF signal processing chains
• Prescaler modules for high-frequency measurement systems
• Signal conditioning within microwave test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA interface compatibility and frequency range requirements against system specifications before procurement. Confirm that the divide-by-4 functionality aligns with the intended signal processing architecture. Check current supply status as availability may be restricted or subject to regional limitations. Ensure handling procedures account for the sensitive nature of RF components.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a fixed divide-by-4 ratio is required within the 500 MHz to 18 GHz operational band. Consider the SMA interface constraints for board layout and cabling. Evaluate thermal and power requirements if not explicitly detailed in public documentation. Compare against other frequency dividers only if variable ratios or different interfaces are necessary for the application design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the signal conditioning product category under Fairview Microwave's portfolio. It is categorized specifically as a frequency divider within the broader filters and signal processing sub-classification. The part represents a specialized passive or active RF module designed for precise frequency manipulation in professional communication and testing environments.

Replacement Considerations

No publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users requiring alternative solutions must identify components with matching SMA interfaces, 500 MHz to 18 GHz ranges, and divide-by-4 functionality through independent parametric searches.
