PE-W12PS1001

Overview

The PE-W12PS1001 is a WR-12 waveguide phase shifter manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within the frequency range of 60 GHz to 90 GHz and provides a 180-degree phase shift capability. The device features an insertion loss of 1 dB and supports a power rating of 0.7 W. Designed for general-purpose RF applications, it utilizes a chassis mounting type suitable for integration into microwave systems requiring precise phase control in the E-band spectrum.

Feature Summary

• Provides 180-degree phase shift functionality
• Operates in the 60 GHz to 90 GHz frequency range
• Utilizes WR-12 waveguide interface

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Radar signal processing
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet requirements for WR-12 waveguide mating interfaces and mechanical dimensions prior to procurement. Confirm that the operational environment aligns with the specified 0.7 W power rating and 60-90 GHz frequency constraints. Ensure chassis mounting provisions are compatible with the system design to maintain structural integrity and RF performance during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 180-degree phase shift is required within the 60-90 GHz band. The WR-12 form factor dictates compatibility with standard waveguide components in this frequency range. Consider the 1 dB insertion loss impact on system link budget. This unit is intended for chassis-mounted installations rather than flexible cable assemblies.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's waveguide phase shifter series, designed for high-frequency microwave applications. It serves as a passive RF module for controlling signal phase in specialized communication and radar architectures. The product represents a solid-state or mechanical waveguide solution for E-band operations.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Waveguide components require strict dimensional and impedance matching; verify compatibility with existing WR-12 infrastructure before considering alternatives.
