Thermal Variable Attenuator PXV1220S |
|
Easy control of the gain change generated by temperature
change
of high frequency circuit
YDSs Thermal Variable Attenuator is an element, the attenuation of which changes following the change of environmental temperature. If you use this Thermal Variable Attenuator, attenuation decreases as temperature rises, so it can correct characteristics, which lose gain with a temperature rise on the high frequency amplified circuit. With only one Thermal Variable Attenuator, you can directly control input signals with analog continuity and it is the simplest and the most reasonably priced method for adjusting the characteristics influenced by the change of environmental temperature. We can serve not only the improvement of circuit performance but far-reaching merits; cost saving and simplification of material control. We have good results in correcting temperature influences of circuits used in various telecommunication amplifiers for such the base station of cellular phones by using this Thermal Variable Attenuator. |
<Feature>
Fine reproducibility enables attenuation to change to the certain
values following the change of ambient temperatures.
Analog correcting enables smooth continuous correction by a
single step.
Due to its simple design, little phase changes and time delay
change by temperature changes
Available in a wide range from low to high frequency by
consisting of passive resistor materials
Miniature
size(2.0X1.25mm), light (about 6.5mg) and less area in a circuit
Easy automatic mounting by surface mount type (served by taping)
High reliability by simple design and few junctions
Temperature correction at a more reasonable price than in other
styles
Using high precision thin film and a special thermostatic
resistor, it makes no attenuation change by effects except temperature,
and guarantees steady operation.
Serves a
total of 80 temperature correction characteristics. (Each of 10
attenuations has 8 variation slope characteristics.)
