FMWAT1010-20

Attenuators Overview

The FMWAT1010-20 is a fixed waveguide attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It provides 20 dB of attenuation within the WR-15 waveguide band, covering a frequency range of 50 GHz to 75 GHz. The component utilizes UG-385/U cover flanges for secure mechanical connection and signal integrity. Designed for high-frequency applications, it maintains stable performance across its specified operational bandwidth.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides precise 20 dB fixed attenuation for signal level control
• Operates within the WR-15 waveguide frequency band from 50 GHz to 75 GHz
• Features UG-385/U cover flanges for standardized waveguide interface compatibility

Attenuators Applications

• Microwave instrumentation systems
• Precision measurement setups
• Signal characterization and prototyping

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix against official Fairview Microwave documentation to confirm exact attenuation values and flange types. Ensure the WR-15 waveguide dimensions align with system requirements. Request current datasheets for VSWR and power handling specifications before integration.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 20 dB reduction is required in the 50-75 GHz range. Confirm that the WR-15 waveguide size fits the physical constraints of the assembly. Evaluate if the UG-385/U flange standard matches existing connector interfaces in the RF chain.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's series of waveguide to coax adapters and attenuators. The product line covers frequency ranges from 1.7 GHz to 110 GHz across various waveguide bands. The FMWAT1010 series specifically addresses high-frequency attenuation needs using standardized waveguide components.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

FMWAT1010-6 and FMWAT1010-10 are related models in the same series but offer different attenuation levels (6 dB and 10 dB respectively). Verify that the specific 20 dB requirement cannot be met by combining other attenuators or adjusting system gain.
