PIQ-85M18G-36020-CD-2 Active
Vector Modulator
PMI Model PIQ-85M18G-36020-CD-2 is a Vector Modulator covering the frequency range of 0.085 to 18 GHz that provides an attenuator resolution of 0.1 dB and a phase shift resolution of 0.8º. The attenuation is phase invariant, and the phase is amplitude invariant making it ideal for nulling unwanted signals. The unit can be specifically calibrated for any number of 100 MHz bands within the full operating frequency range of 0.85 to 18 GHz. Housing measures 6.0" x 3.0" x 1.0" with SMA female connectors.
