Control Processor Model CP2021 controls all Flann programmable products including Rotary Vane Attenuators, Phase Changers and Polarizers.
Applications:
- Automated production testing of microwave radios and satellite communication payload
- Fade margin testing
- Gain control
- Bit Error Rate
- Automated test and measurement systems
- Remote control systems
- Extraordinary resolution & settability at low attenuations
Attenuator Performance
- 0 dB to 60 dB in less than 1.1 seconds
- 0 dB to 120 dB in less than 2.2 seconds
(2 attenuators connected in series) - 3 GHz to 140 GHz (in waveguide bands)
- IEEE488.2 GPIB Bus and USB Control
Will position to:
0.01 dB between 0 dB & 21 dB
0.02 dB between 21 dB & 30 dB
0.05 dB between 30 dB & 48 dB
0.1 dB between 48 dB & 60 dB
Phase Changer Performance
- Continuous phase change in either forward or reverse direction
- Smallest phase change increment is 0.2°
- Rate of phase change is 1480 degrees per second.
Controlling Cable Requirements
- A conversion cable is required when driving
- Series 610
- Series 611
- Series 660 instrumentation using a CP2021
- Unchallenged accuracy, reliability and repeatability
- Built in self test and diagnostics
- Control of 1 or 2 attenuators giving a possible attenuation range of 120 dB
- Universal line input, automatically switched between 115 V and 230 V
