FMWGA3206

Overview

The FMWGA3206 is a WR-10 waveguide low noise figure amplifier designed for the W band, operating within a frequency range of 75 GHz to 110 GHz. It provides a typical gain of 25 dB and features a low noise figure of 6 dB. The device utilizes UG-387/U-M flanges for waveguide interface connections. Electrical specifications include an operating supply voltage range of 6 V to 12 V and a maximum operating current of 65 mA. The unit delivers a saturated output power (Psat) of 6 dBm.

Feature Summary

• Operates in the W band with a frequency range from 75 GHz to 110 GHz
• Features a low noise figure of 6 dB for sensitive signal reception
• Utilizes WR-10 waveguide interfaces with UG-387/U-M flanges
• Provides high gain performance suitable for millimeter-wave applications

Applications

• Millimeter-wave radar systems
• Satellite communication ground stations
• Test and measurement instrumentation
• Electronic warfare receivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and flange type compatibility before integration. Confirm that the system power supply strictly adheres to the 6 V to 12 V range to prevent damage. Ensure mechanical mounting aligns with WR-10 waveguide standards. Check for any recent manufacturing updates or pinout revisions in the official documentation prior to final design approval.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low noise figure is critical at frequencies above 75 GHz. Compare against other W-band amplifiers regarding gain flatness and thermal management requirements. Ensure the system can accommodate the required DC power budget of 65 mA. Verify that the UG-387/U-M flange interface matches existing waveguide infrastructure.

Part Context

This part belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of WR-10 waveguide amplifiers. It is specifically engineered for high-frequency applications where signal integrity and low noise are paramount. The product complements other components in the same waveguide family, providing standardized interfaces for easy system integration in millimeter-wave environments.

Replacement Considerations

FMWGA3201 is a documented substitute offering similar W-band operation but with different gain and power characteristics. Verify flange compatibility and electrical parameter overlap before substitution.
