The Lab Brick LPS series of Phase Shifters bring affordability, functionality, reliability and simplicity to the microwave test bench. The LPS products range from 2 GHz to 12 GHz with 360 degrees of control range in a compact and rugged package.
The LPS-802-8 offers both USB and Ethernet interfaces. The USB port uses a native HID interface to avoid the difficulties inherent in using older serial or IEEE-488 interfaces implemented over USB. As a result, Lab Brick users can get to work faster without having to install kernel level drivers, and Lab Brick devices can be easily used on any system that supports USB HID devices, including low cost embedded computers using Linux or similar operating systems. The Ethernet interface is configurable for Static IP or DHCP with the ability to assign the HTTP port for extra security.
The LPS-802-8 Programmable Phase Shifter is a highly accurate, bidirectional, phase shifter with 8 independently controlled channels. The LPS-802-8 provides calibrated phase control from 4 to 8 GHz with a 360 degree range and 1.0 degree phase step size. The phase shifters are easily programmable for fixed phase, swept phase ramps and phase profiles directly from the included Graphical User Interface (GUI). Alternatively, for users wishing to develop their own interface, Vaunix supplies LabVIEW drivers, Windows API DLL files, Linux drivers, Python examples and much more.
