D-Band, Digital, Dual Function Direct Reading and Programmable Phase Shifter

STP-36-06-S1 is a dual function direct reading and programmable rotary vane type Phase Shifter for use in millimeter wave systems across the standard D-band frequency range of 110 to 170 GHz. The phase shifter is an ideal piece of equipment in waveguide systems where a broad direct reading of phase is required. In manual mode, the phase is adjustable with the large knob and digital LCD screen displays the phase shift value. The LCD screen is powered by an internal, rechargeable battery, which is charged via the 2.5 mm DC jack by a provided DC to AC adapter. The 2.5 mm DC jack also provides power to the stepper motor, encoder, and internal microprocessor for the programmable mode function. The user can quickly switch to programmable mode by connecting the powered-up phase shifter to a computer with the USB Type-B port. In programmable mode, the phase is finely adjusted with a precision stepper motor by the internal microprocessor via user-entered serial port commands from the computer. The small, but powerful stepper motor is able to change the phase from 0° to 360° in 10 seconds. The phase shifter is packaged individually in a rugged equipment box with additional hardware and tools.
