Hittite Intros Three New MMIC Phase Shifters Spanning 1.2 to 8 GHz
- Analog and Digital Control Versions Feature Excellent Phase Accuracy
Chelmsford, MA, November 15, 2010 - Hittite Microwave Corporation, the world class supplier of complete MMIC
based solutions for communication & military markets, has introduced three new SMT packaged MMIC Phase Shifters
which are ideal for sensor and subsystem applications in fiber optic, military, test, and industrial/medical
equipment from 1.2 to 8 GHz.
The
HMC928LP5E and
HMC929LP4E are MMIC Analog Phase Shifters which are rated from 2 to 4 GHz and from 4 to 8 GHz, respectively.
Each of these fully integrated Analog Phase Shifter products provide continuous phase shift of up to 450 degrees,
and accept an analog control voltage from 0 to 13 V. The
HMC928LP5E and
HMC929LP4E exhibit consistently low insertion loss of 3.5 to 4 dB, with excellent phase accuracy of +/- 5
degrees across the band. The
HMC928LP5E is housed in a leadless QFN 5 x 5 mm SMT package, while the
HMC929LP4E is housed in a leadless QFN 4 x 4 mm SMT package.
Also released is the
HMC936LP6E 6-bit Digital Phase Shifter which is rated from 1.2 to 1.4 GHz, and provides 360 degrees of phase
coverage in steps of 5.625 degrees. The
HMC936LP6E features very low RMS phase error of 1.2 degrees and extremely low insertion loss variation of ±0.5
dB across all phase states. This digitally controlled phase shifter accepts positive control logic of 0 / +5 V,
requires no negative supply voltage, and is internally matched to 50 Ohms with no external components. The
HMC936LP6E is housed in a leadless QFN 6 x 6 mm SMT package.
The
HMC928LP5E,
HMC929LP4E and the
HMC936LP6E MMIC Phase Shifters are ideal for adjusting the phase of clocks in fiber optic systems and test
equipment, and in antenna beam-shaping and signal cancellation circuits.
Samples and evaluation PC boards for
all SMT packaged products are available from stock and can be ordered via the company’s e-commerce site or via
direct purchase order. Released data sheets are available on-line at www.hittite.com.
