RF Line Stretchers
Line stretchers are passive RF components that provide phase adjustment for signals in an RF microwave system or testing application. They perform phase adjustment on the applied signal by changing their physical length while maintaining an impedance of 50 ohms. Line stretchers can be considered adjustable (in terms of physical length) transmission line.
They are available in two options: Manually controlled and electronically controlled. Line stretchers are ideal for use in phase adjustment, impedance matching, signal combining, test bench, and automated load-pull measurement of oscillators application.
Key Specifications of Line Stretchers Include:
- Operating Frequency (MHz/GHz): It is the useable frequency range of the line stretcher.
- Phase Adjust: It the typical phase adjustment provided by the line stretcher.
- Insertion Loss: It is the power loss that occurs in a signal when flowing through the line stretcher. Insertion loss is measured in dB.
- Power Handling: It is the maximum input power the component can withstand without damage.
