FMWAT1008-10

Overview

The FMWAT1008-10 is a fixed waveguide attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for WR-22 waveguide systems. It operates within a frequency range of 33 GHz to 50 GHz and provides a nominal attenuation value of 10 dB. The component supports an average power handling capacity of 4 W. This device is engineered for high-frequency applications requiring precise signal reduction within the specified waveguide standard.

Feature Summary

• Fixed attenuation design providing consistent signal reduction
• Compatible with WR-22 waveguide system standards
• Operates effectively across the 33 GHz to 50 GHz frequency spectrum

Applications

• High-frequency microwave test and measurement setups
• Signal conditioning in radar systems
• Satellite communication equipment testing

Procurement Notes

Verify the WR-22 waveguide interface compatibility before procurement. Confirm that the 4 W average power rating meets the specific application requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the component's thermal limits. Check for any specific flange or mounting requirements associated with the WR-22 standard to ensure proper integration into the existing system architecture.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 10 dB attenuation is required in the 33-50 GHz range. Consider the WR-22 size constraints for physical installation. Evaluate if the 4 W power handling is sufficient for the intended signal levels. Compare against adjustable attenuators if variable control is needed instead of a fixed value.

Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's waveguide attenuator series, specifically tailored for millimeter-wave frequencies. It serves as a passive RF component used to reduce signal amplitude without introducing significant distortion. The WR-22 designation indicates its physical dimensions and cutoff frequency characteristics, ensuring interoperability with other WR-22 compliant hardware in the same frequency band.

Replacement Considerations
