Analogue Die Phase Shifters

Arralis announced their advanced K- and Ka-Band analogue die phase shifters are ready to order. Operating at 17 to 21 or 25 to 33 GHz, the phase shifters enable up to 350-degree and > 360-degree smooth phase variation across the band, respectively. These bare die phase shifters are currently in stock and available to order. Arralis analogue phase shifters are an alternative to digital phase shifters where any required phase delay is achievable with the phase set by varying the control voltage in the range of -0.5 to 0.7 V.

SSB Modulator Encodes 77 to 82 GHz

Model SFM-77382312-1212SF-N1 is an E-Band single-sideband modulator operating from 77 to 82 GHz. Quadrature modulation signals are nominally 6 V peak-to-peak and are applied to both IF inputs. The IF range is DC to 1 GHz. Carrier and sideband suppression are both nominally 20 dB. Typical conversion loss is 25 dB. An LO signal can be applied to one of the RF ports to yield a quadrature detector.

High Q/Low ESR - Capacitors

PPI offers traditional high Q low ESR 0505 (0.055” × 0.055”) and 1111 (0.110” × 0.110”) multi-layer ceramic capacitors for UHF/microwave RF power amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, filter networks, low noise amplifiers, timing circuits and delay lines. These capacitors are available in two dielectrics (P90 or NP0); three different terminations: magnetic (100 percent Sn - solder over nickel plating), non-magnetic (100 percent Sn - solder over copper plating) and tin/lead (90 percent Sn 10 percent Pb - solder over nickel plating). Designed and manufactured to meet the requirements for MIL-PRF-55681 and MIL-PRF-123.

8 to 22 GHz Variable Attenuators

RLC Electronics is manufacturing broadband 8 to 22 GHz variable attenuators, intended for panel mounting into customer systems. The frequency can be extended to approximately 24 GHz, as needed. These attenuators have 20 dB minimum attenuation range, exhibit low loss (< 0.5 dB) and are stable over MIL-STD-202 environment. RLC is also offering similar variable attenuators that cover the 4 to 18 GHz band and will support custom frequency requirements as well.

RPC-1.00 Connector Series

The portfolio of the precision connector series RPC-1.00 has been significantly expanded. Flexible and semi-rigid cable assemblies are offered in the various RPC-1.00 to other interface configurations. Low-cost “economical” versions are also available. Inter-Series adapters are now also available in the RPC-1.00 - WSMP version, test port adapters and launcher jacks are also new. The standard program is rounded off by in-series adapters, PCB connectors, waveguide coaxial adapters and gauge kits. Customized cable assemblies with or without armouring are available upon request.
