Switch Configuration Switch Configuration Driving the Switch Standard Drive TTL Drive (Option T24) Electronic Position Indicators This chapter provides you information on how to drive the switches using standard drive and TTL drive. Also included is the configuration to utilize the function of the position indicator. Keysight 8710x Operating and Service Manual...
Switch Configuration Driving the Switch Each RF path can be closed by applying ground (TTL “High” for Option T24) to the corresponding “drive” pin. In general, all other RF paths are simultaneously opened by internal logic. See Figure 2-1 for drive connection diagrams. Figure 2-1 Drive connection diagrams for Option 161 and Option 100 The default operation of the switches is break-before-make.
Switch Configuration Standard Drive 1 Connect pin 1 to supply voltage (+20 Vdc to +32 Vdc) and pin 15 to ground. Pin 15 must always be connected to ground to enable the electronic position-indicating circuitry NOTE and drive logic circuitry. If pin 15 is not connected to power supply ground, catastrophic failure will occur.
Switch Configuration TTL Drive (Option T24) 1 Connect pin 1 to supply voltage (+20 Vdc to +32 Vdc) and pin 15 to ground. Pin 15 must always be connected to ground to enable the electronic position-indicating circuitry NOTE and drive logic circuitry. In addition to the quiescent current supplying the electronic position-sensing circuitry, the drive current flows out of pin 15 (during switching) on TTL drive switches (option T24).
Switch Configuration Electronic Position Indicators The electronic position indicators consist of optically isolated, solid state relays which are driven by photo-electric sensors coupled to the mechanical position of the RF path’s moving elements (see Figure 2-2). The circuitry consists of a common which can be connected to an output corresponding to each RF path.

Keysight 8710x Series Coxial Multiport Switches Operating and Service Manual Installation and Verification Installation Operating and Service Instructions This chapter provides you installation information and simple verification steps of the switches.
Installation and Verification Installation Initial inspection 1 Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked both mechanically and electrically. –...
Installation and Verification Operating and Service Instructions Operator’s check The operator’s check is supplied to allow the operator to make a quick check on the coaxial multiport switches prior to use or if a failure is suspected. Description The coaxial multiport switch is connected to a network analyzer configured for the S-parameter measurement.
Installation and Verification Quick check procedure 1 Connect the common port of the switch to Port 1 of the network analyzer and one of the outer RF ports to Port 2 of the network analyzer as illustrated in Figure 3-1. 2 For standard drive, apply ground to the corresponding “drive”...
