FM82P5016

Overview

The FM82P5016 is an adjustable phase shifter manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 8 GHz and provides a total phase tuning range of 0 to 720 degrees. The device features a precision rotary dial design that allows for continuous phase adjustment at a rate of 90 degrees per GHz. It utilizes N-type female connectors for interface connectivity. This component is categorized under RF misc ICs and modules, specifically functioning as a radar phase shifter.

Feature Summary

• Features a precision rotary dial design enabling continuous phase adjustment
• Provides a total phase tuning range from 0 to 720 degrees
• Operates across a frequency spectrum from DC to 8 GHz

Applications

• Radar systems requiring precise phase control
• Signal conditioning in RF test and measurement equipment
• Wireless communication infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and frequency range against the official Fairview Microwave datasheet before procurement. Ensure compatibility with system impedance requirements. Confirm availability status through authorized distributors, as supply levels may vary. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the precision mechanical components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a wide phase shift range up to 720 degrees is required within the DC to 8 GHz band. The N-type connector choice suits applications needing robust mechanical connections. Consider the rotary dial mechanism for applications requiring manual, continuous fine-tuning rather than digital step adjustments.

Part Context

The FM82P5016 belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of adjustable phase shifters. It is distinct from the FM82P5015, which covers only DC to 4 GHz. This model extends the operational bandwidth to 8 GHz while maintaining the same 90 degrees per GHz adjustment ratio, resulting in a doubled total phase range compared to its lower-frequency counterpart.

Replacement Considerations

The FM82P5015 serves as a partial substitute if the application frequency does not exceed 4 GHz. However, for full-bandwidth requirements up to 8 GHz, no direct equivalent replacement is documented in public sources.
