amplifiers Amplifiers
One technique to reduce the reflected signal from the input or output of any device is to place an attenuator before or after the device. The attenuator reduces the reflected signal two times the value of the attenuation, while the transmitted signal receives the nominal attenuation value. Use this calculator to improve your system's phase and amplitude variation performance.
mixers Mixers
Spectrum Microwave's hybrid mixer product line (formerly Magnum Microwave) covers frequency ranges from 0.5 MHz to 26.5 GHz. Available in many industry standard surface mount, drop-in and connectorized housings, these mixers are ideal for high reliability applications. Spectrum mixers are offered in both double or triple balanced configurations for a broad frequency response.
vcos VCOs
Spectrum Microwave's line of VCOs, Voltage Controlled Oscillators, features standard designs from a library of components designed by Radian Microwave, Magnum Microwave and Amplifonix. Frequency ranges from 25 MHz to 18 GHz.
limiters Limiting Amplifiers / Limiters
These amplifiers are useful for protecting subsequent components from input overdrive and removing amplitude modulation from FM signals.
switches Switches
Spectrum Microwave's line of SPST to SP8T Switches (formerly Amplifonix) range in frequencies from DC to 3000 MHz. We offer both Pin Diode and GaAs designs for both high speed applications as well as higher isolation requirements.
detectors Detectors
Spectrum Microwave produces temperature compensated detectors, which operate from 10 MHz to 2 GHz. Analog/Level Detectors convert a range of RF input powers (typically from -20 dBm to +10 dBm) to a corresponding DC output voltage level.
Attenuators
Spectrum Microwave's Attenuator products are offered in both Digital and Voltage Variable configurations. Formerly the product line from Amplifonix, Digital Attenuators are available in frequency ranges from 10 to 2000 MHz. Integrated TTL drivers simplify system integration.
dros DROs
Spectrum Microwave's stabilized oscillator products (formerly Magnum Microwave) provides engineers designing microwave radio links, transponders and synthesizers the high performance that is required for today's systems. These Dielectric Resonator Oscillators (DROs) provide high frequency stability with low phase noise while minimizing power drain.
