8-Bit Programmable Phase Shifters Deliver 360° Of Accurate Variable Phase Shift

Fairview Microwave’s latest series of 8-bit programmable phase shifters are adjustable over a full 360° range.

Three models can produce a discrete set of phase states up to 256 total steps in 1.4° increments with reliable accuracy and minimal phase shift error. The phase shifters cover frequency bands from 0.5 to 18 GHz. Typical phase shift error ranges from +/- 0.9 to +/- 4.5 degrees over 8 binary increments with fast switching speed performance from 30 to 265 nsec. Maximum input (CW) power varies from +13 dBm to +30 dBm, depending on the model. The packages are compact and environmentally sealed with field-replaceable SMA or 2.92mm connectors, and sub-miniature D multi-pin connectors for the power/logic controls.
