Single Sideband IQ Modulators To 16 GHz
-
Single Sideband Modulators incorporate a 90° hybrid, 2-way 0° divider and two mixers to produce either an upper (RF + IF) or lower (RF - IF) sideband when driven by a carrier signal and modulation input signal. Depending on the phase relationship of the signals injected into the MOD.I and MOD.Q ports, the modulator will pass either the upper or lower sideband through to the output while rejecting the other.

90 Degree Hybrid Couplers To 500 MHz
-
Hybrid couplers with bandwidths as broad as 125:1 are available for applications within 100 kHz to 500 MHz. Power handling is 1 watt maximum for a load VSWR of 1.2:1 or better. These hybrids have an isolation of 20 dB and phase balance of 3 degrees. Most models have a VSWR of 1.4:1 or better throughout their operating bandwidths.Pulsar Microwave currently offers these hybrid couplers packaged in three outlines, including an SMT version. Standard offering of connectorized packages 412 and 442 are with SMA female connectors. Outline 412 may be customized with any combination of BNC, TNC, F or N connectors. Outline E is the surface mount version and requires less than one square inch of board area, making it well-suited for portable applications.

Voltage Controlled Phase Shifters To 3200 MHz
-
Pulsar's Voltage Controlled Phase shifters utilize a DC voltage to control the phase of the RF signal applied. These phase shifters utilize varactor diodes to produce the necessary phase requirements. Phase of the 180 and 360 degree designs are available, and phase can be controlled with a DC voltage 0-20 Vdc. Modulation of these phase shifters is typically 100 kHz, and maximum input power is +5 dBm.A wide variety of package styles are available, such as plug-in, flatpack, TO-cans, and connectorized housings, though the most popular are the miniature surface mount packages. Surface mount packages are available on tape and reel, for automated assembly techniques.
