Product Description
Micro-Con A228001-1 X-Band Phase Control Unit (Military/Avionics Surplus)
This is a specialized RF phase control unit, identified by part number Micro-Con A228001-1 and designed for X-Band (approximately 8–12 GHz) applications. Originating from military, avionics, or radar systems, this module is used to precisely control the phase of microwave signals—critical for phased array antennas, electronic countermeasures (ECM), beam steering, and radar systems. Sold AS IS for parts, repair, or engineering evaluation.
Key Specifications (Based on Typical X-Band Phase Control Modules):
-
Frequency Range: X-Band (likely 8–12 GHz)
-
Function: Analog or digital phase shifting; may be a voltage-controlled phase shifter (VCP) or digitally-controlled (DCP) module
-
Connectors: Likely SMA, TNC, or Type N RF ports; multi-pin control/power connector
-
Control Interface: May accept DC analog voltage, digital TTL, or serial commands for phase adjustment
-
Power Handling: Likely low to medium power (milliwatts to watts)
-
Construction: Ruggedized, possibly hermetically sealed for military environments
-
Applications: Phased array radar, EW/ECM systems, missile guidance, satellite communications, and advanced RF test setups
Potential Uses:
-
Military RF System Repair: Donor unit for restoring an identical phase control module in a radar or ECM system.
-
Component Salvage: High-quality X-Band phase shifters (ferrite or MMIC), RF connectors, control ICs, and precision passive components.
-
Advanced RF Experimentation: For engineers and researchers developing phased array, beamforming, or radar prototype systems (requires extensive test equipment).
-
Educational Display: Example of military RF phase control technology for engineering programs.
Important Notes:
-
Expertise Required: This module is not functional without integration into a properly matched RF system with appropriate control signals and power.
-
Performance Unknown: Phase range, insertion loss, accuracy, and switching speed are not guaranteed or provided.
-
Possible ITAR Control: May be subject to U.S. export restrictions due to military/aerospace origins.
