Description

The PS6000L ultra-wideband active RF Phase Shifter from DS Instruments provides handheld stand-alone and remote-controlled phase shifting from 0 to 360 degrees in tiny 1/2-degree increments. This ultra-compact USB device features a graphic display and audio feedback. Simple to use and integrate into automated test environments, the PS6000L’s robust frequency coverage makes it extremely attractive for many medium-power CW applications. Gain is adjustable with the internal amplifier and variable attenuator.
