• Utilizes silicon technology for high-phase accuracy with minimal loss variation over the shift range
• Features an exposed pad 24-VFQFN package designed for efficient thermal management and compact integration

Applications

• Phased array radar systems requiring precise beam steering
• Satellite communication terminals operating in the 8-12 GHz band
• Electronic warfare equipment utilizing signal phase manipulation
• Test and measurement instrumentation for RF phase characterization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure correct packaging configuration, as variations exist between cut tape, reel, and MouseReel formats. Confirm that the RoHS compliance status matches current regulatory requirements for the intended deployment region. Cross-reference the part number with the latest product change notices regarding die attach epoxy modifications to ensure material consistency with existing supply chain specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring full 360-degree phase coverage in the 8-12 GHz range. The low insertion loss of 6.5 dB makes it suitable for applications where signal integrity is critical. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 24-PQFN footprint and properly connects the exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Consider the operating temperature limits of -40°C to +85°C when defining the environmental constraints of the final assembly.
