Full Band Phase Shifters
STP-18-10-M2
-
Full band phase shifters are micrometer-driven, waveguide-based phase shifters. The configuration of the micrometer-driven phase shifters is similar to that of level setting attenuators, where the phase shifting is caused by an E-plane dielectric insert in the rectangular waveguide. The amount of phase shifting is directly dependent on the volume of the insert. The VSWR and the insertion loss of these phase shifters are dependent on the frequency. The below standard offering covers the frequency range of 18 to 110 GHz and a phase shifting range of 180 degrees. These micrometer-driven phase shifters are typically used to introduce a certain amount of phase shifting when the absolute number is not a focus.

Redundant Frequency and Timing Systems
-
A unique feature of our frequency standards and distribution amplifiers is that the two separate parts of the redundant system are identical and can easily be inter-changed, for maintenance purposes. What we mean by this is that that we don't have a "Master" unit and a "Slave" unit. Whatever unit is powered up first becomes the master unit and the other becomes the slave unit.
