Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and connector type compatibility before procurement. Confirm that the operating frequency range and power handling requirements align with the application design. Ensure that the interface logic levels match the controlling circuitry. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or availability constraints associated with this part number.

Selection Notes

Select this component when precise, digitally controlled phase shifting is required between 500 MHz and 2 GHz. Consider the 13 dB insertion loss impact on system gain budget. Evaluate the 30 dBm power rating against peak signal levels. Ensure the SMA interface matches existing cable infrastructure. Verify that the 8-bit resolution meets the angular accuracy needs of the application.

Part Context

This model belongs to Pasternack's series of programmable phase shifters designed for RF applications. It serves as a signal conditioning component for adjusting phase relationships in wireless systems. The device complements other adjustable phase trimmers and fixed phase shifters offered by the manufacturer for comprehensive RF chain management.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Direct replacement requires matching the 500 MHz to 2 GHz frequency range, 360-degree phase shift capability, and SMA interface. Verify pinout and control logic compatibility if considering alternative manufacturers.
