These configurable PXI & PXIe microwave switch modules (model 4x-890) may be specified with a mix of high-performance microwave relays up to 110 GHz bandwidth at 50Ω impedance or up to 2.5 GHz at 75Ω impedance and a range of connector types.
* Currently, the 110 GHz products come with a 1-year warranty
Simply use our Microwave Switch Design Tool or send your list of required relays from the table (and, optionally, a sketch of their preferred positioning).
Our engineering team will model these onto a suitably sized front panel and send back a draft design for your approval. Once you're satisfied with the front panel layout, we'll quote you for the complete switch unit with a unique part number. These relays have an extremely high level of performance, offering low VSWR, very high isolation, low loss and high power handling. They are ideal for switching coaxial systems that require high performance from the HF band to microwave frequencies. The platform is available in form factors from one to six slots, providing space-saving microwave switching solutions. The relays can be used individually or externally interconnected to create a complex switching system.
The relays may be externally interconnected to create a complex switching system, our signal routing software, Switch Path Manager, can be used to simplify and accelerate application program development significantly.
Each microwave relay has LED indicators to show the current energized path through the relay, as illustrated here. This signal path indication greatly simplifies the debug of test application software.
The platforms are supplied with built-in soft front panels for each fitted relay. These enable graphical manual control of the switches to simplify application software development and debug.
To facilitate fast in-field repair, wherever possible, we fit relay types that may be quickly replaced by simply withdrawing them through the front panel.
Why us
For over 30 years, test engineers have turned to us to provide sensibly priced, high-performance modular microwave switching. These subsystems have provided the foundation for highly reconfigurable signal routing solutions. Please take a look at our RF and Microwave switching application page for resources and more information.
We can help you design, deploy, and sustain your next Microwave switching systems—simply and effectively.
