Pulse ModulatorsAbsorptive input pulse modulators offer frequency ranges from 100 MHz to 24 GHz in up to 9:1 bandwidths and are available with optimized narrowband performance. High speed switching includes 15 ƞSec RF and 15 ƞSec delay for a maximum of 30 ƞSec. These can be offered with unit-to-unit phase and amplitude matching and configurations up to SP4T. |
Frequency Ranges: From 100 MHz to 24 GHz, any optimized bandwidth is available.
TTL Compatible Logic: Logic ‘0’ = Insertion Loss and Logic ‘1’ = Isolation. For additional logic options, please consult the factory.
High Speed Switching: Pulse Modulators are measured from 50% TTL to 10% / 90% RF from any set value to any set value.
Operating Temperature Range: Standard models include temperature compensation in a range from -55° to +85° C. For more severe environments, please consult the factory.
Power Consumption: Pulse Modulators that operate from 2.0 to 18.0 GHz require +5/-12 to -15 VDC @ ±50 mA. And Pulse Modulators that operate from 0.5 to 2.0 GHz require ±5 VCC @ ±25 mA.
High RF Power Handling: For power levels greater than listed, please consult the factory.
Standard Interfaces: RF port connectors are ‘SMA’ female per MIL-C-39012. DC/Logic connections are solder terminals. Please consult the factory for additional options.
Matched Phase & Amplitude: Model listed can be matched unit-to-unit. Please consult the factory.
