Voltage Controlled Linearized Attenuators To 16 GHz
Pulsar's voltage controlled, PIN diode linearized attenuators are available from 0.25-16 GHz with attenuation ranges of 32 and 64 dB. Each model includes an integrated linearizer, and a driver that controls the attenuation level. This design results in transient free switching between attenuation levels as opposed to the spurious outputs that result when an attenuation value is switched either on or off by a direct digitally controlled attenuator. Transfer function is 8 dB / Volt.

Triple Balanced High IP3 Mixers To 3500 MHz
Pulsar Microwave Corporation features a high performance series of triple balanced mixers which offer superior IP3 performance. Optimized to cover specific bands (such as Cellular, PCS, LAN), a +10 dBm LO drive level results in a typical IP3 of +21 dBm, while +17 dBm and +23 LO drive levels result in typical IP3 readings of +30 and +35 dBm respectively. Provide us with your exact frequency ranges and power levels and we will be happy to guarantee an IP3 specification for your application.These high IP3 mixers are available in a number of packaging styles including 8-pin relay headers, TO5 & TO8 cans, flatpacks and connectorized housings. However, the most popular configuration is our miniature surface mount packages which are ideal for large volume applications and can be supplied on tape and reel to utilize automated pick and place assembly techniques.
