Digital Controlled Phase Shifters To 4 GHz
-
Pulsar's Digital Controlled Phase shifters utilize PIN diodes and delay lines to produce the necessary phase requirements. These digital phase shifters use switched lines to obtain temperature stable phase shift. The phase is specified at the center frequency ± 3.0% and is proportional to frequency over the entire band.

Voltage Controlled Phase Shifters To 3200 MHz
-
Pulsar's Voltage Controlled Phase shifters utilize a DC voltage to control the phase of the RF signal applied. These phase shifters utilize varactor diodes to produce the necessary phase requirements. Phase of the 180 and 360 degree designs are available, and phase can be controlled with a DC voltage 0-20 Vdc. Modulation of these phase shifters is typically 100 kHz, and maximum input power is +5 dBm.A wide variety of package styles are available, such as plug-in, flatpack, TO-cans, and connectorized housings, though the most popular are the miniature surface mount packages. Surface mount packages are available on tape and reel, for automated assembly techniques.

90 Degree Hybrid Couplers To 500 MHz
-
Hybrid couplers with bandwidths as broad as 125:1 are available for applications within 100 kHz to 500 MHz. Power handling is 1 watt maximum for a load VSWR of 1.2:1 or better. These hybrids have an isolation of 20 dB and phase balance of 3 degrees. Most models have a VSWR of 1.4:1 or better throughout their operating bandwidths.Pulsar Microwave currently offers these hybrid couplers packaged in three outlines, including an SMT version. Standard offering of connectorized packages 412 and 442 are with SMA female connectors. Outline 412 may be customized with any combination of BNC, TNC, F or N connectors. Outline E is the surface mount version and requires less than one square inch of board area, making it well-suited for portable applications.

Low Frequency 3-Way Power Dividers To 1500 MHz
-
Pulsar Microwave manufactures 3-way power dividers from 1 MHz to 1.5 GHz in both surface mount and connectorized packages. They are rated for an input power of 1 watt maximum for a load VSWR of 1.20:1 or better. This series of 3-way power dividers are currently offered in four outline packages. The hermetically sealed outline 301 and surface mount outline B are useful in portable applications where space is premium. Outlines 412 and 433 are connectorized versions in cross or in-line format, respectively.

20 DB Directional Couplers From 0.5 To 60 GHz
-
Pulsar Microwave's 20 dB high frequency single directional couplers make up the CS20 series. They are available in narrow or wideband designs from 500 MHz to 60 GHz. They have a typical coupling tolerance of +/- 1 or 1.25 dB and most models handle 50 watts input power. These directional couplers are designed to operate in a 50-ohm system, and are optimized for best matching and high directivity with flat coupling response.Standard outlines are offered in SMA or N type female packages, either all of one type or combination with N type mainline and SMA coupled port.

SP5T RF Pin Diode Switches To 12 GHz
-
Pulsar Microwave's 5-way RF switches cover bands from 300 MHz to 12 GHz in both absorptive and reflective configuration. These SP5T switches have a rating of 200 mW maximum input power and a switching time of 100 ns. They are specified with a minimum isolation of 60 dB and most models maintain a VSWR of 1.6:1 or better on all ports. The SP5T switches are driven by TTL logic control circuitry and require both positive and negative 5-volt supplies for operation. A 9-pin D-SUB connector provides the interface for the power and logic voltages.
