PXI Microwave Switch Modules

High performance switching that features low insertion loss and very high isolation

  • General-Purpose Relay and High Density Multiplexer Configurations
  • 50Ω and 75Ω Modules Available
  • Signal Bandwidths up to 67GHz
  • Range of Signal Connectors Including SMA, SMZ, and Mini SMB
  • Power Handling up to 700 Watts
  • Kernel, VISA and IVI Support For PXI Environments & Kernel and IVI Support For LXI Environments

Pickering's PXI Microwave Switch Modules vary from simple multiplexer and switch configurations to large multiplexers. Most products are characterized for 50Ω operation however certain 75Ω versions are supplied either as standard or custom products. Remote versions occupy a single PXI slot with the microwave switches mounted separately from the host chassis, connection to the module is via a supplied control cable.

All of these microwave switch modules use high quality RF connectors that are supported by our cables and connector accessories.
