Analogue phase shifter modules feature monotonic range up to 800°

These versatile analogue phase shifters provide a continuously variable phase response that’s controlled by a single voltage source that delivers almost unlimited resolution with monotonic performance. The analogue control feature is popular for communications applications, radar systems and test equipment.

The PE82P2000 covers 5 to 18GHz with a continuously variable and monotonic phase shift range of 0 to 400^° typical and 7dB insertion loss. The analogue control voltage ranges from 0 to +10V and supports a modulation bandwidth of 50MHz. The PE82P2001 covers 6 to 15GHz with a continuously variable and monotonic phase shift range of 0 to 800^° typical and 6dB insertion loss. The analogue control voltage range is 0 to +5V and supports a modulation bandwidth of 50MHz.

Both models are available in rugged Kovar packages that feature gold-over-nickel plating and are hermetically sealed. These analogue phase shifters are highly reliable and are guaranteed to meet MIL-STD environmental test conditions. The versatile drop-in package designs are compact and support field replaceable SMA connectors for a coaxial interface, or the pin package can be integrated onto a printed circuit board assembly.

“Designers can use these phase shifters to monotonically shift the phase characteristics in the processing of microwave signals with only a single variable voltage control,” explains Tim Galla, Active Components Product Manager at Pasternack. “The rugged and compact package designs are hermetically sealed, MIL-Spec compliant and support operating temperatures of -55 to +85^°C.”
