MITEQ, Inc. has introduced its’ new reflective Single Pole Two Throw Switch, Model SW2-005180RN3NF, covering the frequency range from 500 MHz to 18 GHz with a minimum of 60 dB isolation from .5 to 12 GHz and 55 dB isolation from 12 to 18 GHz and VSWR of 1.8:1 maximum. The 2 BIT input control is TTL compatible and the time between the 50 percent point of the input control pulse to the 10 to 90 percent point of detected RF is within 40 nS. The power handling capability is 20 dBm. Rise/Fall time is <20 ns typical. Available options include an extended band version, as well as sub-band versions.
Also debuting is MITEQ‘s BTE Synthesizer Series, designed to meet the most demanding phase noise requirements from S- through Ku-Band. The BTE Ku-Band noise performance is over 20 dB below Intelsat IESS 308/309 with over 2 GHz of tuning bandwidth and 1 kHz step size. This series is also available with a fixed second LO output option which also maintains the low noise of the main output in dual conversion systems. Fixed LO can be tuned to alternate frequency via communication interface. The BTE is packaged to meet extremely low EMI emission requirements and has options for parallel or serial communications and control.
Also new is the company’s VME Based Receiver, Model SYS1000N01U. The architecture is a multi-stage superheterodyne design that will translate an X-band signal with the frequency excursion of 1,000 MHz to an IF center frequency of 70 MHz with an instantaneous bandwidth of 20 MHz. The receiver’s functionality includes automatic gain control (AGC) attenuator with analog sampling, channel gain balance attenuator, channel phase balance phase shifter, signal injection point, peak detected signals (available VME interface) and RF signal monitoring points. The receiver is fabricated into a three-slot wide VME module. Control of the receive components is done using standard VME-64 bus protocols.
