A series of analogue phase shifters have been released by Pasternack. They are used to control the phase characteristics in the processing of microwave signals, and can also be used as phase modulators to control a modulating baseband signal.

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.”
