PXI/PXIe Microwave Relay, Dual SPDT, 50 GHz, 50 Ω, SMA-2.4, External Termination, Failsafe

The 40-781A-722 (PXI) and 42-781A-722 (PXIe) are dual failsafe SPDT 50 GHz microwave relay modules with external terminations. The 40/42-781A range is available with one or two SPDT switches capable of switching frequencies up to 50 GHz in 50 Ω. They are available with either internal or external terminations and connections are via front panel mounted high quality SMA, SMA 2.9 or SMA 2.4 connectors.

These PXI/PXIe Microwave relay modules give you the highest RF and microwave switching performance available within a Pickering switching system. Although designed for microwave applications, they have many uses in the RF spectrum where extremely low insertion loss and ultra high isolation are critical. They may also be used for lower frequency RF applications where power handling to 240 W (without termination) is required.

The remote mounted versions of this module, as well as occupying less panel space in the case of the dual options, allow the microwave relays to be placed closer to the UUT and RF test equipment. This can shorten the length of cables and improve system performance. Remote switches are supplied with a 1.5 m interface cable.
