PE82P5002

Overview

The PE82P5002 is a space-qualified digital phase shifter manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within the frequency range of 6 GHz to 18 GHz and provides a total phase shift capability of 0 to 360 degrees. The device utilizes an 8-bit architecture, enabling 256 distinct control steps for precise phase adjustment. It features SMA connectors for RF interfacing and is designed for high-reliability applications requiring programmable phase control in wideband microwave systems.

Feature Summary

• Space-qualified digital construction for high reliability
• 8-bit programmable phase shifting with 256 discrete steps
• Wide operational bandwidth from 6 GHz to 18 GHz
• Full 360-degree continuous phase shift range

Applications

• Satellite communication payload systems
• Phased array radar beam steering
• Space-qualified microwave test equipment
• High-frequency electronic warfare systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the space-qualification certification documentation required for your mission profile. Confirm that the SMA connector interface matches your system's mating requirements. Ensure that the 6 GHz to 18 GHz operational range aligns with your signal frequencies. Check for any specific handling instructions related to space-grade components during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth covering 6 to 18 GHz is required alongside high-resolution phase control. The 8-bit resolution offers 256 steps, suitable for applications needing fine phase granularity. Consider the space-qualified status if the environment demands radiation tolerance or extreme reliability standards beyond standard commercial grades.

Part Context

This unit belongs to Pasternack’s Digital TTL Programmable Phase Shifter series. It is categorized under wireless and RF integrated circuits, specifically phase detectors and shifters. The product is packaged in bulk and serves as a critical component for adjusting signal phase in advanced microwave and satellite communication architectures.

Replacement Considerations

PE82P5003: Similar 8-bit programmable phase shifter with potentially different frequency coverage; verify band alignment. PE82P5023: 6-bit TTL programmable phase shifter operating at 8–12 GHz; lower bit resolution and narrower bandwidth.
