Click image to enlarge

Overview

Model 60-890-005 is a mixed configuration LXI Microwave Switch and is suitable for switching 50Ω signals up to 40GHz. With 4 banks of terminated SP6T and 3 banks of SPDT unterminated relays, it is ideal for constructing complex microwave switching systems for many applications. Connection is by high-performance front panel mounted SMA connectors.

The relays have an extremely high performance level, offering low VSWR, very high isolation, low loss and high power handling. They are ideal for switching 50Ω coaxial systems that require high performance from the HF band to microwave frequencies.

Occupying just 2U of valuable rack space provides a space-saving solution in the construction of microwave switching systems. The relays can be user connected to create customized switching systems.

Controlling the Switch

This LXI Microwave Switch is controlled through an LXI interface based on 1000Base-T Ethernet, providing a quick and easy installation method. The LXI interface also provides a simple way of managing the switch remotely through its API or built-in soft front panel—aiding in testing the systems without a physical presence.
