FMFX2024

Overview

The FMFX2024 is an active frequency multiplier module manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for E-band applications. It operates within a frequency range of 40 GHz to 60 GHz, functioning as a 6X multiplier. The device accepts input via an SMA female connector and delivers output through a WR-12 waveguide interface equipped with a UG-387/U flange. It provides a typical output power of +15 dBm. The module is RoHS compliant and intended for high-frequency signal generation tasks.

Feature Summary

• Active 6X frequency multiplication capability
• E-band operation from 40 GHz to 60 GHz
• SMA female input interface
• WR-12 waveguide output with UG-387/U flange

Applications

• High-frequency signal generation
• E-band communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Microwave research applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the FMFX2024 to confirm exact electrical performance curves and thermal requirements. Ensure that the host system can accommodate the WR-12 waveguide interface and UG-387/U flange specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for the final assembly. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding the sensitive RF components within the module.

Selection Notes

Select the FMFX2024 when a compact solution is needed for generating signals in the 40-60 GHz range. The SMA input allows for easy integration with standard test equipment, while the WR-12 output ensures low-loss transmission at E-band frequencies. Consider the +15 dBm output power level against system link budget requirements. Evaluate the physical size constraints due to the waveguide output structure.

Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's portfolio of RF IC modules and multipliers. It serves as a specialized building block for engineers requiring precise frequency synthesis in millimeter-wave bands. Unlike passive components, this active module generates new frequencies, making it essential for systems lacking direct synthesizers in the E-band.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for the FMFX2024. Engineers must evaluate alternative E-band multipliers based on matching frequency ranges, output power levels, and interface compatibility (SMA input, WR-12 output). Cross-referencing technical specifications is necessary to ensure functional equivalence.
