Microwave Solutions, Inc

Microwave Solutions is introducing these drop-in sized forward/reverse coupler/detector Drop-in Modules that are ideal for applications requiring a multi-function module in small spaces. They are especially well suited for test and radar systems because they have field removable SMA connectors so they can be used in coaxial systems or, after removing the connectors, ‘dropped-into’ a microwave printed circuit board. The ports are as followed: PORT 1-2 INPUT/OUTPUT with Ins. https://microwavesolutions.wordpress.com//forwardreverse-/

Specifying a single Multi-Coupler Module (MCM) from Microwave Solutions, Inc., instead of three separate couplers, save space by eliminating separate connectors and improve consistency performance because each coupling factor can be individually specified and the VSWR interactions between couplers can be better controlled. These Multi-Coupler Modules can be specified in a variety of different coupler combinations with coupling ranges of 3 to 20 dB, in various bands from 2 to 20 GHz, [ 88 more words ] https://microwavesolutions.wordpress.com//multi-coupler-m/

Originally designed for radar and microwave test instrumentation, these Gain Control Detector Amplifier Multi-Function Modules (MFM) provide the gain control, amplification, and detection for an integrated automatic level control (ALC) function, all within a single package. The functions of voltage controlled gain, amplification and detection can be specified in any order as may be desired by the system designer in order to minimize noise figure or maximize overall dynamic range.

August 3, 2017 Originally designed for radar and microwave test instrumentation, these Gain Control Detector Amplifier Multi-Function Modules (MFM) provide the gain control, amplification, and detection for an integrated automatic level control (ALC) function, all within a single package. The functions of voltage controlled gain, amplification and detection can be specified in any order as may be desired by the system designer in order to minimize noise figure or maximize ove...rall dynamic range. The amplification inserted either ahead of or after the voltage controlled attenuation, for example. The analog control provides for more fine-grain variation than that available from digital control. As an alternative to having to specify and integrate multiple single functions components. These MFM have reduced size, improved performance and eliminate the headaches with VSWR and internal-function connections. Removable SMA connectors provide for coaxial or printed circuit board applications. Internal voltage regulation allows use with a wide range of DC supply voltages. These MFM are available in various frequency bands from 2GHz to 18GHz. Typical specifications for an X-band version: Minimum Gain is 10.5 dB with I/O VSWR of 1.5:1, 1 dB Pout is +23.0 dBm min. Noise Figure is 5.0dB max. DC power of +12.0 VDC at 150mA typ. Gain Control: 20 dB with current 0-4mA typ. Voltage Detector (Vdet) in mV set to customer specifications. Module size without connectors: .89x.74x.22 inches (LxWxH) See more

July 12, 2017 Microwave Solutions, Inc. is introducing this low-frequency amplifier operational from 225-400MHz with a built-in ESD protection device, RF input power AutoDetect threshold turn-on circuit and an integrated filter to attenuate adjacent or harmonically related signals. When the RF signal applied to the RF INPUT connector exceeds 0 dBm (+/-2dBm), the internal AutoDetect threshold circuit turns on the bias to the RF gain stages and also toggles the state of an inte...rnal Field Effect Transistor. Hysteresis is approximately 1 to 3dB, once the amplifier is toggled by the applied RF level crossing the threshold level, the amplifier won’t again toggle unless the threshold is again crossed by an additional 1 to 3dB. This amplifier is perfect when you just need a little boost in your system and it's turned on at specific settings. Typical Gain is 15 to 18dB with Saturated Power at 34.5 dBm min. I/O VSWR is 2.0:1. The amplifier operates with +11.5 to 15VDC at 1.0 Amps max. over -20 to +71 degrees C. Size: 4.38x2.82x1.26 inches (LxWxH) See more
