FMWGA3204

Overview

The FMWGA3204 is a WR-15 waveguide low noise amplifier designed for the V band, operating from 50 GHz to 75 GHz. It features a typical noise figure of 5.5 dB and provides 31 dB gain. The unit utilizes UG-385/U flanges and requires an operating supply voltage between 6 V and 12 V.

Feature Summary

• Operates within the V band frequency range
• Utilizes WR-15 waveguide interface
• Provides low noise amplification

Applications

• V band communication systems
• Waveguide RF signal processing
• Low noise receiver front ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for detailed electrical characteristics and mechanical drawings. Confirm that the required supply voltage falls within the specified 6 V to 12 V range before integration. Ensure proper waveguide alignment using UG-385/U flanges during installation to maintain performance integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low noise solution is required specifically for the 50 GHz to 75 GHz spectrum. The WR-15 form factor dictates compatibility with existing waveguide infrastructure. Verify that the system can accommodate the necessary DC power supply specifications for stable operation.

Part Context

This module belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of waveguide devices. It serves as a specialized active component for high-frequency applications where signal integrity and minimal noise addition are critical requirements in the millimeter-wave spectrum.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical WR-15 dimensions and UG-385/U flange interfaces. Ensure any replacement maintains the 50 GHz to 75 GHz operational bandwidth and comparable noise figure specifications.
