LXI High Frequency Matrices

 

  • Single or Dual 24x8 50Ω HF Matrix
  • Software Configurable as 48x8 Matrix
  • 50MHz Bandwidth, Useable to 100MHz
  • Rack Mountable Enclosure
  • LXI Standard 1.4 compliant
  • Program via Windows DLL or IVI Driver

Pickering's LXI high frequency (HF) matrix modules are suitable for switching frequencies up to 50MHz. They have an impedance of 50Ω and uses SMB signal connectors or with a larger case size is uses BNC connectors. This HF matrix is designed to provide a simple and scalable bidirectional matrix for radio frequencies and is intended for the easy construction of high performance bidirectional matrix switching systems.

Software configuration allows it to be set as a dual 24 by 8 matrix, a single 48 by 8 matrix and other configurations. A flexible isolation switch arrangement permits the matrices to be configured so the matrix can be expanded with other modules while maximizing the bandwidth of the switching system. This high frequency matrix is supplied in a compact 1U high, rack width case with 340mm depth; the BNC version is housed in a 2U high case with 500mm depth. It is fully programmable via the LAN interface using a variety of drivers. Industry standard (W3C) web browsers can be used to access and change configuration information and provide access to the soft front panels.

These matrices are supported by a comprehensive range of cable and connector accessories.

Switch Type

EMR - Electro-Mechanical Relay, cost-effective, medium power switching. Reed - reed relays, excellent low-level switching, fast, long life. Solid-State - very fast, indefinite life, high power switching, but high leakage and insertion loss.

Banks

The number of independent switch topologies on a single module.

X Size

The number of matrix columns, used with Y Size to specify the size of a cross-point matrix.

Y Size

The number of matrix rows, used with X Size to specify the size of a cross-point matrix.

Function

Required switch topology.

Z (Ω)

The input impedance of each switch channel.

Max f (MHz)

The maximum usable frequency of each switch topology.
