Custom Solutions
The Pascall Ultra-Miniature series of Frequency Discriminators provide broadband performance and superb linearity over a wide temperature range. The UMDLD range of discriminators are robustly constructed in lightweight aluminium alloy housings and are designed to withstand harsh mechanical environments. This range is specified for operation over a case temeperature range maximum of -45°C to +85°C. The standard supply voltage is +/- 5 Volts and options are available for +/-12 and +/-15 Volts.
The +/-5 Volt unit has a power dissipation of less than 0.5 Watts. This offers distinct advantages in thermal stability making it the ideal choice for compact airborne equipment designs where low power dissipation is vital to maintain high reliability and performance. Pascall have a large range of alternative discriminators covering centre frequencies from 10 MHz to 1 GHz and are also able to design models to meet customers specific requirements.
