SECTION 1 - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
The 40-884A is an all solid state microwave matrix which
can operate to frequencies beyond 8 GHz and handle RF
powers to +30 dBm. The matrix supports up 4 point to point
connections across the matrix at the same time.
An innovative construction method ensures the 40-884A
provides a compact 3 slot solution which has excellent
RF performance. A 4x4 matrix aids the concurrent testing
of up to 4 devices with 4 different sets of test equipment,
improving speed of test in RF systems and making more
efficient use of expensive test equipment.
The design provides a high isolation between the selected
paths, ensuring a high degree of independence in the test
processes. Fast operating speed reduces the time taken
in setting switches for the next test run. With the ability
to handle signals up to +30 dBm and an IP3 of typically
+60dBm the design can handle the signal levels found
in most applications without introducing appreciable
distortion.
RF connections are made via SMA connectors to ensure
cabling solutions maintain the high performance of the
40-884A.
The 40-884A is supplied with drivers that allow users
to support the module in all popular PXI software
environments. In addition the 40-884A can be supported in
Pickering Interfaces' LXI/PXI Modular Chassis, permitting
users to choose an LXI or PXI switching platform while
retaining the same high performance characteristics and
driver environment.
