Pickering Interfaces' 60-891-007 is a compact 50 Ω microwave
switching matrix with a maximum bandwidth of 18 GHz.
It is ideal for constructing complex microwave switching
systems for many applications. Connection is by high
performance front panel mounted N-type or SMA connectors.
The 60-891-007 matrix is constructed from interconnected
microwave tree multiplexers which alllows the routing of any
single input port to any single output port.
Controlling the Matrix
The 60-891-007 matrix is controlled through an LXI interface
based on Ethernet 1000Base-T. This provides a quick and
easy method of installing the unit and a simple way of
controlling it from a remote location through its API or built
in soft front panel. The ability to control the unit at a distance
allows the testing of systems without the need for a physical
presence.
Easy Repair
The construction of the 60-891-007 permits ease of assembly
and maintenance. All the cabling required to create the
switching configuration is contained within the unit for a neat
solution in a small form-factor.
Other Microwave Switching Configurations
Pickering Interfaces is able to offer other microwave
switching solutions, if you have a custom requirement for
switching please contact your local Pickering Interfaces sales

Switch Path Manager
Our signal routing software, Switch Path Manager, automatically
selects and energizes switch paths through Pickering switching
systems. Signal routing is performed by simply defining test
system endpoints to be connected together, greatly accelerating
Test System software development.
