Model No. PS-255-2G18G-8B-SFF is an 8-b digital phase shifter capable of adjusting phase from 0 to 255 deg. across a frequency range from 2 to 18 GHz. Phase resolution is as fine as 1 deg. The phase shifter exhibits typical VSWR of 2.50:1 with typical insertion loss of 18 dB. It typically draws 200 mA current from a supply of +12 to +15 VDC. The phase shifter, which is supplied with SMA female connectors, is housed in a compact package measuring 2.0 × 2.1 × 0.5 in. It is designed for operating temperatures from -40 to +85°C.
