HMC-C055
22.5° MMIC 4-BIT DIGITAL
PHASE SHIFTER MODULE, 8 - 12 GHz
v04.0711
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C055 is a 4-bit digital phase shifter which
is rated from 8 to 12 GHz, providing 0 to 360 degrees
of monotonic phase coverage, with a LSB of 22.5
degrees. The HMC-C055 features a very low RMS
phase error of 6 degrees and a low insertion loss
variation of ±1 dB across all phase states. This high
accuracy phase shifter requires a single DC voltage
of -5V and is internally matched to 50 Ohms. The
package is a hermetically sealed module that can
utilize eld replaceable SMA connectors or be used
as a drop-in module.
Low RMS Phase Error: 6°
Low Insertion Loss: 7 dB
