Ka Band Analog Phase Shifter: 25.5 -32.5 GHz
The CLT-KA08A-PS is a connectorised Ka-Band analog phase shifter operating from 25.5 to 32.5 GHz, covering the core Ka-Band uplink and downlink allocations used by commercial HTS satellite systems. With greater than 400 degrees of phase range and voltage-controlled tuning from −0.5V to +1.5V, it is the Ka-Band complement to the CLT-KA07A-PS, enabling coherent dual-band phased array architectures from a consistent, characterised component family.
