The 40-880A is a 50 Ω SPDT RF switch with automatic
termination of unused channels which can operate to
frequencies beyond 8 GHz. It is available in dual format in a 1
slot PXI module, quad format in a two slot PXI module or hex
and octal formats in a three slot PXI module.
The switch exhibits low insertion loss and VSWR through
the use of high performance solid state switches. Solid
state switches ensure a long service life with no wear out
mechanism, making the 40-880A ideal for ATE systems
requiring frequent and fast operating RF switching. The
40-880A can handle RF input powers of up to +36 dBm CW
and +38 dBm pulsed and is able to sustain frequent hot
switching without performance degradation.
The module is fitted with SMA connectors, ensuring module
compatibility with commonly used cables.
The 40-880A is supplied with drivers that allow users
to support the module in all popular PXI software
environments. In addition the 40-880A can be supported in
Pickering Interfaces 60-100 series LXI Modular Switching
chassis, permitting users to choose their switching platform.
