The Best and Smallest Programmable RF Attenuators, Signal Generators, and Switches

Vaunix Technology Corporation continues down their path toward a full catalog of solutions for wireless test applications that can take advantage of programmable RF devices.

The LSG and LMS series of Lab Brick Signal Generators provide all the signal-generating capability of a full-sized test signal source without the need for cumbersome rack equipment. Together they cover frequency ranges from 20 MHz – 20 GHz, with high output levels and excellent spectral purity.

The LDA series of Lab Brick Digital Attenuators boast 120 dB of programmable attenuation through 6 GHz, and can be used in the development of low-cost fading simulators for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) communication systems such as WiMAX, 3G and LTE.

Lab Brick Switch products have a 10 W power handling capability and offer reliable, high isolation, low power and low cost solid state solutions in both single pole double throw (SPDT) and single pole four throw (SP4T) configurations. And the Lab Brick Phase Shifter line provides excellent phase accuracy while offering 1 degree phase resolution through 12 GHz, and can be used in beam forming and phased array antenna systems.

Latest designs include attenuators with 120 dB of programmable attenuation through 6,000 MHz; -50 and -75 Ohm single pole, double throw and single pole, four throw switches; 2-4 and 4-8 GHz phase shifters, and a .5 MHz to 270 MHz signal generator with a 100-microsecond switching time and 100 Hz frequency resolution.

Powered by USB and controlled by easy-to-use, graphical-user-interface (GUI) software, Lab Bricks are designed to meet the needs of engineers and technicians who work either in the lab or in the field.
