Raymond Sicotte, chairman and CEO of American Microwave Corp. (AMC), and Ashok (Ash) Gorwara, chairman, president and CEO of Planar Monolithics Industries Inc. (PMI), wish to announce that they have completed realignment and separation of AMC and PMI.
PMI Model No. DTA-0R5G18G-60-CD-1 is a non-reflective, 10 bit, programmable 60 dB pin diode attenuator with step resolution as low as 0.06 dB over the frequency range of 0.5 to 18.0 GHz.
PMI Model No. P2T-12G18G-45-R-SFF-10W is an independently controlled, high power, reflective single pole two throw switch designed to operate between 12.0 to 18.0 GHz and handle input power levels up to 10 W CW and 30 W peak with a maximum pulse width of 1usec and maximum PRF of 2 MHz.
PMI Model No. SDLVA-2G6G-70-CD-1 is a successive detection log video amplifier (SDLVA) that operates between the 2.0 to 6.0 GHz frequency range. It has a dynamic range of 70 dB, a log slope of 40 mV/dB and offers very fast rise and fall times of 15 and 25 nsec respectively.
PFEM-9D4G-CD-1 is a multi-function module that provides amplification, switching and filtering within the frequency band of 9410 MHz. This module provides two input channels and is switchable to a common output. This model is designed to offer multiple gain level selection, high channel to channel isolation and fast switching speeds.
PMI Model No. LM-0518-10-1W-SHS-2-M-1218 is a high power limiter that operates from 12.0 to 18.0GHz. This limiter handles 100 W peak power with a pulse width of 1usec. The insertion loss is only 1.5dB typically and has a VSWR of 2.0:1 maximum.
PMI Model No. P2T-1G18G-10-R-5V-SFF-HIP10W-HERM is a hermetically sealed, reflective, single pole, two throw pin diode switch that operates over the 1.0 to 18.0GHz frequency range. This model is capable of handling an input power level of 5 WCW while providing switching speeds of less than 40ns typically.
PMI Model No: SDLVA-3G18G-CW-70-MAH is a CW-immune successive detection log video amplifier operating in the 2.0 to 18.0 GHz frequency band. It features an SPST on the RF output which allows for the RF to be blanked when the RF input signal is below the -64 dBm threshold.
PMI Model No. PSD-6G16G-CD-1 is high power, switch box assembly that provides protection to front-end receivers when in the presence of high power signals. This is accomplished by sensing the input signal level and then switching the input signal into 50 ohms terminations when a set threshold level is exceeded. This assembly operates from 6.0 to 18.0 GHz and can handle input power levels up to 10 W CW.
