PMI Model No. EWDM-2G8G-65-70MV is a CW immune EW detector module operating over the 2.0 to 8.0 GHz frequency range. This model features an internal switch used to switch between the Bit IN and RF IN with input blanking on both ports.

PMI Model No. LM-1G18G-15-3W-500WP-SFF is a high-power limiter that operates over the 1.0 to 18.0 GHz frequency range. This model is capable of handling an input power of 3 W CW and 500 W peak.

PMI Model No. LM-1G18G-16-4W-SMF is a coaxial limiter with an operating range of 1.0 to 18.0 GHz. This model has a maximum insertion loss of 2.3 dB at -10 dBm input power, with a maximum VSWR of 2.0:1.

PMI Model No. PDVAT-0518-60-8-93-10M18 is an 8-Bit programmable 60 dB PIN diode attenuator with a step resolution as low as 0.25 dB over the frequency range of 10 MHz to 18.0 GHz.

PMI Model No. P4T-10G40G-60-T-292FF is a SP4T solid-state, absorptive switch that operates from 10 to 40 GHz.  This model offers over 60 dB of isolation and less than 6 dB insertion loss. 

PMI Model No. P2T-0R5G8G-45-R-SFF-50W-SM is a SP2T reflective switch designed to operate over the 0.5 to 8.0 GHz frequency range and to handle 50 W average input power.  

PMI Model No. PDPS-3F-6 Option AL is a six bit phase shifter with a speed of 300 ns maximum, (100 ns typical), designed to operate at a frequency of 3.0 GHz with a VSWR of 2.0:1.  This unit has a typical insertion loss of 9.0 dB and a phase accuracy of ±6° maximum.

PMI Model No. SDLVA-500M4G-CD-2 is a successive detection log video amplifier (SDLVA) that offers a typical RF gain of 55 dB. This model has a log slope of 25 mV/dB typical into a 50 Ohm load with input power handling of +17 dBm CW maximum.

PMI Model No. LM-100M20G-18-10W-SFF is a 10 W peak, 1 W CW Limiter that operates over the 0.1 to 20.0 GHz frequency range.  This model offers a maximum insertion loss of 2.0 dB and a maximum VSWR of 2.0:1. The unit is supplied with SMA female connectors in an ultra small housing measuring only 0.50" x 0.50" x 0.22". 

PMI Model No. PE2-16-300M20G-1R7-15-12-SFF is a low noise amplifier that works from 300 MHz to 20 GHz. This amplifier has a very low noise figure over this broad frequency range. This low noise amplifier provides 16 dB of small signal gain while requiring only a single supply of +12 V. The P1dB output power of 15 dBm allows this low noise amplifier to function as a lo driver for balanced, I/Q or image reject.
