FMWAT1009-10

Attenuators Overview

The FMWAT1009-10 is a waveguide fixed attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within the WR-19 waveguide frequency range of 40 GHz to 60 GHz. The device provides a nominal attenuation value of 10 dB. It supports an average power handling capacity of 3 Watts. The unit features UG-383/U cover flanges for secure mounting and connection. This component is designed for high-frequency signal attenuation applications in microwave systems.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Fixed 10 dB attenuation performance
• WR-19 waveguide interface compatibility
• UG-383/U cover flange design

Attenuators Applications

• Microwave test and measurement setups
• Signal level reduction in RF chains
• Waveguide system calibration

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix matches the required attenuation value. Confirm WR-19 waveguide dimensions align with existing infrastructure. Ensure power ratings meet operational requirements. Check for available documentation regarding insertion loss and VSWR specifications.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 10 dB reduction is needed in the 40-60 GHz band. Consider the physical size and weight constraints of the installation. Evaluate the need for UG-383/U flange compatibility versus other standard waveguide interfaces.

Attenuators Part Context

Fairview Microwave produces a series of waveguide attenuators under the FMWAT1009 designation. Variants typically differ by attenuation values, such as the 20 dB version. These components serve as passive elements for managing signal strength in high-frequency communication and radar systems.
