What are Mechanical RF Phase Shifters?
Mechanical Phase Shifter is a device that allows manual adjustment of the phase of the signal from the input to the output by rotating a knob. A mechanical phase shifter can be designed by using the dielectric slab with a variable placement within the waveguide. They are ideal for use in the evaluation of RF components, delay line applications in optical and RF Networks, and military and commercial applications.
Key Specification Parameters of Mechanical Phase Shifters:
- Operating Frequency: Represents the frequency range in which the mechanical phase shifter provides best electrical performance.
- Phase Shift Range: It is the phase range (in degree) provided by the mechanical phase shifter.
- Insertion Loss: It is the amount of signal power that is lost as the signal passes through the mechanical phase shifter, expressed in decibels (dB). The lower the loss, the better the performance.
- Power Handling: It is the maximum input power at which the mechanical phase shifter can operate without any damage, typically expressed in Watts or dBm.
