Redundant Frequency and Timing Systems
-
A unique feature of our frequency standards and distribution amplifiers is that the two separate parts of the redundant system are identical and can easily be inter-changed, for maintenance purposes. What we mean by this is that that we don't have a "Master" unit and a "Slave" unit. Whatever unit is powered up first becomes the master unit and the other becomes the slave unit.

Varactor Tuned Gunn Oscillators
-
Varactor tuned Gunn oscillators utilize high performance GaAs Gunn diodes and various cavity configurations to deliver moderate output power with low AM/FM noise and harmonic emissions. The oscillators are specially designed for a broader tuning bandwidth and an electrical tuning capability. The standard offering covers the frequency range of 8.2 to 110 GHz and features a self-locking set screw for fine frequency setting. While standard models offer a waveguide interface, a coaxial interface is also available. The performance of the oscillator can be further enhanced by adding an isolator, Gunn oscillator modulator/regulator, and temperature heater.

Full Band Phase Shifters
STP-18-10-M2
-
Full band phase shifters are micrometer-driven, waveguide-based phase shifters. The configuration of the micrometer-driven phase shifters is similar to that of level setting attenuators, where the phase shifting is caused by an E-plane dielectric insert in the rectangular waveguide. The amount of phase shifting is directly dependent on the volume of the insert. The VSWR and the insertion loss of these phase shifters are dependent on the frequency. The below standard offering covers the frequency range of 18 to 110 GHz and a phase shifting range of 180 degrees. These micrometer-driven phase shifters are typically used to introduce a certain amount of phase shifting when the absolute number is not a focus.
