Vaunix’s Digital Phase Shifter Family Provides Excellent Phase Accuracy

October 9, 2018

Vaunix Technology Corp. offers a Lab Brick LPS Series of RF and Microwave Programmable Digital Phase Shifters.

These low cost, portable, wireless RF Phase Shifters are ideal for engineering and production test laboratories, field testing and integration into high speed automatic-test-equipment (ATE) systems. The phase can be set from the GUI, configured from an uploaded phase profile or programmed using the provided API DLL. The GUI software can track and control several connected RF phase shifters, simplifying multiple device test setups. Each device stores settings in internal memory, allowing it to power up in a specific phase state.

This family includes LPS-123, LPS-802, LPS-402 and LPS-202 with frequencies ranging from 1 to 12 GHz, all available for purchase online on their website.

These Digital Phase Shifters are USB powered and controlled, with calibrated performance for optimal accuracy. They have a phase adjustment step size of one degree to 360 degrees with one degree increments. Additionally, these RF phase shifters include an easy to install and use GUI with phase profile upload capability.

Vaunix’s Lab Bricks are housed in rugged aluminum enclosures measuring 3.86 in. x 2.52 in. x 0.67 in. (98 mm x 64 mm x 17 mm) and weighing just under 0.5 lb. (0.23 kg). All Lab Brick Digital Phase Shifters are RoHS compliant. Each Lab Brick test device comes with a USB flash drive containing the GUI software, Microsoft Windows SDK, Linux SDK, LabVIEW driver, a digital version of the programming guide and a USB 2.0 to Mini B cable. API DLL and example programs are included.
