How to Buy
Model 7928A Miniaturized 8 Bit Digital 360° Phase
Shifter/Frequency Translator
The Model 7928A is a miniaturized, hermetically sealed PIN
diode phase shifter covering the frequency range from 6 to
6 to 18 GHz
18 GHz providing a full 360° range of variable phase shift. It
360° range
can also be used to perform frequency translation. The unit
High speed
is an integrated assembly of an RF vector modulator and a
Digitally programmable (8 Bits)
driver circuit consisting of an 8- bit D/A converter and a
Guaranteed monotonicity
voltage buffer. See Figure 1.

PHASE SHIFT
Phase shifting is achieved utilizing the RF vector modulator
approach shown in Figure 2. The 3-dB hybrid coupler divides
the RF signal into two quadrature components which are
then biased in proportion to the sine and cosine of the
desired phase shift. The signals are then combined in-phase
to yield desired output.
ACCURACY
Improved phase accuracy and PM/AM performance are
achieved by using double-balanced bi-phase linear
amplitude modulators. In the main operating band, overall
phase accuracy is better than 12°. The same phase
accuracy can be achieved at the band edges by using a
built-in frequency correction circuit. Switching speed is better
than 500 nsec.
FREQUENCY TRANSLATION
(SERRODYNING)
In the design of the Model 7928A, special attention has been

paid to those characteristics which affect its performance as
a frequency translator. These include minimizing PM-to-AM
conversion, use of high slew rate drivers and optimizing
phase shift linearity with applied signal. As a result, carrier
and sideband suppression levels of over 25 and 20 dB,
respectively, are obtained in the main band. The same
carrier and sideband performance can be realized over the
full stretch band when the internal frequency correction
circuit is employed. See Fig.3 for input control requirements.
On special order, frequency translators can be provided for
operation over reduced bandwidths with suppression levels
of up to 40dB. Consult the factory for such requirements.
