CMD297P34

®
5-18 GHz Analog Phase Shifter

Product Overview
The CMD297P34 is an analog phase shifter housed in a
leadless 3x4 mm plastic surface mount package which
operates from 5 to 18 GHz. The phase shifter utilizes a
single positive control voltage of 0V to +10V to control
relative phase shift over a 530 degree range at 7 GHz and
a 220 degree range at 12 GHz. The CMD297P34 has
consistent insertion loss versus phase shift and the phase
shift is monotonic with respect to control voltage. The phase
shifter is a 50 ohm matched design which eliminates the Key Features
need for external DC blocks and RF port matching.

Applications Information
Application Circuit

Biasing and Operation

The CMD297P34 has a single control voltage (Vctrl). Full phase shift range is achieved when Vctrl is varied from 0 to +10 V.

RF power can be applied at any time.

GaAs MMIC devices are susceptible to damage from Electrostatic Discharge. Proper precautions should be
observed during handling, assembly and test.
