The Model PDL-100A-OEM is the Electro-Mechanical Trombone Delay Line only for OEM applications. The basic architecture of the Model PDL-100A incorporates two equal length Mechanical Trombone delay line structures
(or channels) which are folded to fit into a compact mechanical size. It uses quarter-inch semi-rigid coaxial cables to minimize losses. The most critical design centers around low-friction interfaces of the moving parts of the trombone structure to achieve a long lifetime of operation. The patented design has an outstanding proven operational lifetime of 500,000 operations, and an absolute accuracy of 0.1%, ± 0.2 ps. A highly efficient stepper motor design with a precision lead screw assembly allows accurate positioning in 0.25 ps steps for each half structure
or channel.
The Trombone Unit only is used primarily for OEM applications. The unit comes with GPIB Interface (IEEE488.2 protocol),
Ethernet TCP/IP, RS-232 Serial interface.
Power requirements are +28 V (1.0A DC), and +5 V (0.2A DC).
