General Information L-Series coaxial transfer switch overview Keysight L7222C coaxial transfer switch is designed for flexibility in signal routing applications and provides exceptional insertion loss repeatability of 0.03 dB, low insertion loss and high isolation > 80 dB. Figure 1...
– Magnetic latching – TTL/5V CMOS compatible (optional) The L7222C can be used in a variety of applications such as switching two inputs and two outputs, signal reversal switching or as a drop-out switch. Innovative design and careful process control mean the L7222C meet the requirements for highly repeatable switching elements in test instruments and switching interfaces.
The longevity of these switches increases system uptime, and lowers the cost of ownership by reducing calibration cycles and switch maintenance. Keysight L7222C Operating and Service Manual...
Figure 2 Keysight L7222C coaxial transfer switch schematic Driving the switch There are two positions for the L7222C coaxial transfer switch. See Figure Position A has RF Port 1 connected to RF Port 2 and RF Port 3 connected to RF Port 4.
Therefore, if a pulse drive is used and continuous indicator operation is required, pin 9 must be grounded. – Select position A by applying ground to pin 3. – Select position B by applying ground to pin 5. Keysight L7222C Operating and Service Manual...
For TTL drive, pin 9 must be grounded. NOTE In addition to the quiescent current supplying the electronic position-sensing circuitry, the drive current flows out of pin 9 (during switching) when using TTL drive. Keysight L7222C Operating and Service Manual...
1 but requires that pin 9 be grounded if pulse drive is used and continuous indicators operation is desired. If pin 9 is not grounded, the position indicators will function while the appropriate drive has ground applied.

Sales and Technical Support in the front matter of this manual for the Keysight Technologies nearest you. Attach a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, model number, and serial number. Mark the container FRAGILE to insure careful handling. In any correspondence, refer to the instrument by model number and serial number.
The s-parameters measurement is the best way to determine if the switch is working properly. Keysight transfer switch Figure 5 Connection to perform quick check Keysight L7222C Operating and Service Manual...

6 Now, still in position B, disconnect switch’s Port 1 and Port 2 from network analyzer. Then, connect network analyzer’s Port 1 and Port 2 to Port 2 and Port 3 of the switch. Measure S11, S21 and S22 and verify against specifications. Keysight L7222C Operating and Service Manual...
The coaxial transfer switch can be tested to the accuracy of the specifications with a network analyzer or equivalent equipment of suitable accuracy. If a network analyzer is available, test the instrument using the procedure in the analyzer’s operating manual. Keysight L7222C Operating and Service Manual...
The coaxial transfer switch does not have internal adjustments and should not be opened. Repair The L7222C coaxial transfer switch is not recommended for repair as most components are not easily removed. Maintenance The connectors, particularly the connector faces, must be kept clean. For instruction on connecting and care of your connectors, refer to the Microwave Connector Care Quick Reference Card (08510-90360).
