FMFD4004

Overview

The FMFD4004 is a frequency divider prescaler module manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 100 MHz to 24 GHz and features SMA connectors. This component functions as a signal conditioner or converter, specifically designed to divide input frequencies by four. The module is categorized under RF ICs and general-purpose RF modules, providing a ruggedized solution for high-frequency signal processing applications requiring precise frequency division.

Feature Summary

• Performs frequency division by a factor of four
• Operates across a wide bandwidth from 100 MHz to 24 GHz
• Utilizes SMA connector interfaces for signal transmission

Applications

• RF signal processing systems
• Frequency synthesis circuits
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and mating requirements against your system interface before procurement. Confirm that the input signal levels are compatible with the prescaler's operational range. Ensure that the frequency division ratio meets the downstream circuit design specifications. Check for any environmental rating requirements if the module will be used in non-standard conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a fixed divide-by-four operation is required within the 100 MHz to 24 GHz spectrum. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with existing cabling and fixtures. Evaluate the thermal management needs based on the expected input power levels. Compare performance metrics against other prescalers if variable division ratios are needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave line of RF signal conditioners and converters. It serves as a specialized prescaler module within their broader portfolio of RF integrated circuits and modules. The FMFD4004 is distinct from their cable assemblies and amplifiers, focusing solely on frequency manipulation tasks.
