PIQ-2G18G-360-16-CD-1 Active

High Performance I/Q Vector Modulator

Product Feature

Quantic PMI Model No. PIQ-2G18G-360-16-CD-1 is a 2.0 to 18.0 GHz, high performance I/Q Vector Modulator with 2 x 12-bit monotonic TTL compatible channels (I and Q). This model offers a full 360° phase shift with a minimum of 16 dB of amplitude control and a switching speed of less than 500 ns. Handles a CW input power of +10 dBm and has an insertion loss of less than 18 dB. The modulator requires dual DC supply from ±12 V to ±15 V and consumes less than 100 mA of current.  Available in a module that measures 4.25 x 3.50 x 1.00 inches with SMA female connectors.
