FMWGA3205

Overview

The FMWGA3205 is a WR-12 waveguide low noise figure amplifier designed for the E band, operating from 60 GHz to 90 GHz. It provides a gain of 30 dB with a typical noise figure of 4.7 dB. The unit utilizes UG-387/U flanges for interface connections and is housed in a module format suitable for high-frequency applications.

Feature Summary

• Operates within the 60 GHz to 90 GHz frequency range
• Features a low noise figure of 4.7 dB
• Provides 30 dB signal gain
• Utilizes WR-12 waveguide configuration

Applications

• E-band communication systems
• High-frequency test and measurement equipment
• Satellite ground station receivers
• Point-to-point microwave links

Procurement Notes

Verify that the procurement channel accepts UG-387/U flange interfaces, as standard SMA or N-type connectors are incompatible. Confirm that the receiving system supports WR-12 waveguide dimensions to ensure proper mechanical alignment. Check regional sales restrictions, as availability may vary by distributor location. Ensure power supply requirements match the specific module variant before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low noise figure is critical for weak signal reception in the E band. The 30 dB gain is sufficient for many receiver front-end stages without additional amplification. Consider the physical size of the WR-12 waveguide housing during system integration. This model is appropriate for applications requiring high isolation and stable performance at millimeter-wave frequencies.
