4579

Overview

The L3 Narda-MITEQ Model 4579 is a wideband phase shifter designed for RF and microwave applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0 MHz to 18,600 MHz. The component features an insertion loss of 1 dB. It provides 30 degrees of phase shift capability. The unit utilizes SMA connectors for interface connections. This device is categorized as a general-purpose phase shifting module suitable for broadband signal processing tasks.

Feature Summary

• Wideband operation covering frequencies from DC up to 18.6 GHz
• Provides 30-degree phase shift adjustment capability
• Low insertion loss of 1 dB for efficient signal transmission
• Utilizes SMA connector interfaces for standard integration

Applications

• Broadband RF signal processing systems
• Phased array antenna beam steering networks
• Microwave test and measurement instrumentation
• Communication system phase alignment circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and pin configuration required for your system integration before ordering. Confirm that the 18.6 GHz upper frequency limit meets your operational bandwidth requirements. Ensure compatibility with the 30-degree phase shift resolution needed for your application. Check for any specific mounting or thermal management requirements associated with the module form factor.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a wideband phase shifter is required across the entire microwave spectrum up to 18.6 GHz. The 1 dB insertion loss makes it suitable for low-loss signal paths. Consider the 30-degree shift increment if precise coarse phase adjustment is sufficient. Verify that SMA interfaces align with existing board or cable assemblies in the design.
