Microswitches

Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of 3U PXI Microwave switch solutions with the introduction of the 40-784.

The 40-784 supports one or two microwave switches in just 2 slots of 3U PXI and is available in two configurations and three frequency ranges. The available configurations are un-terminated 4 way (SP4T) and 6 way (SP6T) multiplexers, each configuration is available with a 6GHz, 26.5GHz or 40GHz specified frequency range.

All versions offer excellent VSWR and insertion loss performance. The 6GHz/26.5GHz configurations feature extended life of 10 million operations per position.

The 2 slot PXI occupancy allows test system designers to provide dense solutions to solve dense microwave switching problems. The 40-784 can be supported by any PXI compliant 3U PXI chassis and is supported by Pickering Interfaces Modular LXI chassis’ for applications requiring Ethernet based control.
