Aeroflex Control Components

Analog Diode Phase Shifters

Pin Diode Attenuators

An Analog Phase Shifter Continuously Changes the phase of a microwave signal by varying a DC voltage. Since the DC voltage applied to the diode is reverse bias, the current drain is negligible (typically less than 10uA). A Balanced stripline configuration keeps the VSWR and amplitude ripple to a minimum for all values of phase.

Features:

  • Octave bands up to 18GHz
  • Fast Phase responce as low as 10nS
  • RF power operation 10mW peak/CW, RF power survival 100mW peak/CW
  • Bias connection using pin or connector options
  • Custom configurations available

Digitally Controlled Phase Shifters

Pin Diode Attenuators

Aeroflex Control Components’ digitally controlled Phase Shifters vary the phase of a Microwave signal in responce to a TTL compatible logic input signal . The unit Consists of an analog phase shifter, series PQ, plus a digital to analog converter. A balanced Strip line configuration keeps the VSWR and amplitude change to a minimum for all values of phase. Standard units operate with 8 BITS allowing 256 discrete values of phase.

Features:

  • 8 bit Digital logic standard
  • Octave bands up to 18 GHz
  • RF power operation 5 mW peak/CW, RF power survival 100 mW peak/CW
  • Custom configurations available
