PXI/PXIe Flexible Microwave Module, Dual SP6T 40 GHz, Single SPDT 40 GHz, 50 Ω, SMA

The 4x-890-005 is a microwave switching module with 2xSP6T relays and 1xSPDT relay with 40 GHz bandwidth and is an example configuration of Pickering's Flexible Microwave Module switching solution.

The 40-890 (PXI) and 42-890 (PXIe) range of PXI microwave modules allows users to specify the mix of relay types, frequencies and quantities based on the application requirements within the capabilities of the module driver card. Choose from the extensive relay selection already available in the Pickering microwave range to create a flexible solution.

An example configuration could include a combination of two SP6T plus one SPDT relay that can be externally cabled to create a SP12T multiplexer for frequency ranges where a dedicated 12:1 multiplexer is not available.

Flexible solutions can also reduce the chassis slot count by permitting different relay types to be fitted in a single module. Each flexible build will be assigned a specific part number in the 4x-890 series to provide traceability and to ease the reordering process.

Microwave Switch Design Tool (MSDT)

The MSDT is an on-line application accessed via the Pickering interfaces website that can be used to generate front panel solutions for flexible products. Users can select from the full range of microwave relays then add LED indicators and graphical features such as components identifiers / logos to create a panel layout suited to the application.
