FMFX2000

Overview

The FMFX2000 is a frequency multiplier module manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates in two distinct bands: 9 GHz to 14.5 GHz and 18 GHz to 29 GHz. Designed for VSAT applications, this component functions as an active RF device to generate harmonic frequencies from lower input signals.

Feature Summary

• Dual-band frequency multiplication capability covering sub-15 GHz and millimeter-wave ranges
• Optimized design specifically for Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) communication systems

Applications

• VSAT uplink signal generation
• Satellite communication test equipment
• Millimeter-wave frequency synthesis

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for thermal management requirements and DC bias specifications. Confirm mechanical interface dimensions against your chassis design. Ensure environmental ratings match the intended deployment location before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when dual-band operation across Ku and Ka-like spectrum ranges is required within a single compact unit. Consider the VSAT-specific optimization for satellite link applications rather than general-purpose laboratory use. Evaluate power consumption against available thermal solutions.

Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's portfolio of active RF modules. Unlike passive cable assemblies or attenuators, it provides active gain through frequency conversion. It complements their connector and transmission line products by offering complete signal chain components for high-frequency system integration.
