Pickering Interfaces expands its range of LXI based RF switching solutions
Pickering Interfaces expands its range of LXI based RF switching solutions with the introduction of two new matrices. The 60-730 is available in sizes of 32x16, 16x16, 16x8 and 8x8, has an impedance of 75 ohms and a bandwidth of 1GHz.
The The 60-730 is a family of integrated RF matrices suitable for use up to 1.5GHz.
The construction of the 60-730 provides a cost effective alternative for RF switching based on microwave switching elements while maintaining a high level of matrix performance.
The design is fully scalable, allowing a variety of matrix sizes to be offered in a single family. The innovative design maintains a close path loss match for all routes through the matrix, minimizing the calibration effort that has to be invested by users in optimizing their test system performance.
The 60-771 is a family of integrated RF matrices suitable for use up to 3GHz in a 50 ohm transmission line system. The matrix design permits any single Y input to be connected to any single X input, permitting the concurrent connection of 8 RF paths. All signal paths are bi-directional permitting any connection to be used as an input or an output.
The 60-771 can be supplied in a variety of configurations based on Y axis sizes of x8 and X axis sizes of x8, x16, x24 and x32. Each matrix is factory reconfigurable up to the maximum size of 32x8.
