Broadband Phase Shifter Adjusts DC to 18 GHz

March 5, 2015
This broadband phase shifter provide low-loss control of phase from DC to 18 GHz.

Model 9426A is a broadband phase shifter that provides consistent phase control from DC to 18 GHz. It offers a phase adjustment range of at least 60 deg./GHz with 360-deg. control at 6 GHz. The insertion delay is as little as 0.88 ns and no worse than 1.10 ns across the frequency range. The maximum insertion loss ranges from 0.50 dB at 8 GHz, to 0.75 dB at 12 GHz, to 1.0 dB at 18 GHz. The maximum VSWR ranges from 1.30:1 at 8 GHz, to 1.50:1 at 12 GHz, to 1.60:1 at 18 GHz. The phase shifter, which is supplied in an aluminum housing with stainless-steel female SMA connectors, measures 5.50 × 3.625 in. It offers 100 W average power-handling capability and 5 kW peak power handling capability.
