Keysight 87606Q Coaxial Matrix Switch Operating and Service Manual Switch Configuration General Operation Driving the Switch This chapter provides you information on how to drive the switch.
Switch Configuration General Operation The 87606Q matrix switch consists of six ports which can be individually connected via internal microwave switches to form an RF path. When control inputs are sent to the switch, the internal logic and position sensing circuitry routes current to the appropriate solenoids to open or close the microwave switches based on the input state.
