FMWAT1007-30

Overview

The FMWAT1007-30 is a fixed waveguide attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for WR-28 waveguide applications. It operates within the Ka-band frequency range of 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz. The component provides a fixed attenuation value of 30 dB. It supports an average power handling capacity of 5 watts. The device utilizes an offset flange configuration for connection.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise fixed signal attenuation for high-frequency RF systems
• Engineered specifically for WR-28 waveguide interface compatibility
• Supports operation across the full Ka-band spectrum

Applications

• Ka-band test and measurement setups
• Waveguide signal level adjustment
• RF system power reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify that the WR-28 waveguide interface matches your system requirements. Confirm the 30 dB attenuation value aligns with design specifications. Ensure the 5-watt average power rating meets operational needs. Check for the specific offset flange configuration required for installation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 30 dB reduction is required in the 26.5 to 40 GHz range. Consider the WR-28 form factor for integration. Evaluate the 5-watt power limit against maximum expected signal levels. Compare with adjustable alternatives if variable attenuation is needed.
