Fairview Microwave expands analog and TTL programmable voltage-controlled phase shifters

These cutting-edge products cover broad frequency bands ranging from 0.5GHz to 33GHz, including the popular market bands VHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, K, and Ka.

The new release includes eight models of voltage-controlled analog attenuators that cover 0.5GHz to 33GHz with 180° and 360° phase range. Additionally, there are seven models of 5-bit or 6-bit TTL logic controlled programmable phase shifters that cover 1GHz to 37GHz with a 360° phase range.

Both product lines are designed with high reliability and are housed in rugged, MIL-grade coaxial packages. They boast an operational temperature range of –40°C to +85°C (–40°F to +185° F) and support maximum RF input power levels up to 30dBm.

These innovative phase-shifter modules play a critical role in many RF and microwave systems that require precise control and testing. From RADAR and steerable communications link to high linearity amplifiers, the applications are diverse and include sectors such as electronic warfare, microwave radio, VSAT, SATCOM, 5G, research and development, and more.

The newly launched models are constructed for reliability, and the designs are guaranteed to meet environmental test conditions for altitude, vibration, humidity, and shock. The analog models will support solder control pins for manual voltage control, while the TTL programmable models offer micro-D connectors with 9- or 15-pins for command control.

“These new analog and TTL programmable voltage-controlled phase shifters show our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions,” said Product Line Manager Kevin Hietpas. “By offering both reliability and flexibility in a rugged, MIL-grade package, we’re ensuring that our customers have the best tools to accomplish their projects across different markets.”
