Description
The construction of these matrices provides a cost effective alternative for RF switching based on microwave switching elements while maintaining a high level of matrix performance. The design is fully scalable, allowing a variety of matrix sizes to be offered in a single family. It maintains a close path loss match for all routes through the matrix, minimizing the calibration effort that has to be invested by users in optimizing their test system performance. The design is non-blocking Y to X (or X to Y) allowing any input to be connected to any output. The construction is based on high quality electromechanical relays which provide a fast operating time compared to microwave relays.
Key Features:
- High bandwidth 75Ω RF matrix
- Usable to 1.5GHz
- Automatic termination of unused inputs
- Simple remote control via LXI interface
