A subspace phase inverter was an instrument used by the Federation in the mid-24th century. The inverter could be used for realigning the flow of subspace phase. This device, when in operation, emitted eichner radiation. Starships rarely carry this device.

In 2365, when attempting to trace the source of eichner radiation which was causing growth in a sample of plasma plague, the subspace phase inverter was the first source suggested. As there were none aboard the USS Enterprise-D, the inverter was dismissed as a possible candidate and cyanoacrylates were considered. (TNG: "The Child")
