SSP-94316-S1

Advanced

Description:
Model SSP-94316-S1 is a W band ranging sensor
module that is designed and manufactured for
medium range measurements of a moving target'sspeed and distance. The sensor module has anoperating frequency range of 91.5 to 96.5 GHz andtakes a nominal bias of +8.0 VDC/1,130 mA. The
sensor module is configured with a varactor tuned
oscillator, an isolator, an amplifier, a directional
coupler, a circulator, and a balanced mixer. The
directional coupler is used to sample the LO power to pump the mixer, and the circulator is used as aTX/RX diplexer. The varactor has tuning voltage range of 2.8 VDC to +30 VDC and provides ±2.5 GHz tuningbandwidth. Various antennas can be integrated with the module to form sensor heads for many systemapplications.

All data presented is collected from a sample lot. Actual data may vary unit to unit slightly.
All testing as performed under +25˚C case temperature.
Other mechanical configurations are available under different model numbers.
Eravant reserves the right to change the information presented without notice.

Caution:• Exceeding absolute maximum ratings shown will damage the device.
• The device is static sensitive. Always follow ESD rules when working with the device.
• Any foreign objects in the waveguide will cause performance degradation and possibly damage
the device.
• The case temperature of the device shall never exceed +50˚C. Use a proper heatsink or fan ifnecessary.
• Proper torque, 8.0 ± 0.15 inch-pounds (0.90 ± 0.02 Nm), should be applied. Eravant torquewrench, model SCH-08008-S1, is highly recommended.
