General Information

• Part Number: 780587 - 43
• Module Type: 6.6 GHz, 50 Ω, solid - state, dual 4x1 PXI RF multiplexer switch module

Features

• Solid - State Relays: It adopts high - performance solid - state relays, which have the advantages of unlimited relay life and fast switching time.
• Connectors: The front - mounted SMA connectors provide convenient connection to RF devices. There are 10 SMA jacks (female) for I/O and 2 SMB jacks (female) for trigger connection.
• Termination Design: Every common line and channel has termination, which helps to minimize the reflection of RF signals and protect instruments.

Technical Specifications

• Frequency and Impedance: The minimum input frequency is 10 MHz, and the characteristic impedance is 50 Ω (nominal). The coupling mode is AC, and the maximum safe DC input voltage is ±8 V.
• Power - related: The maximum safe continuous RF power is +30 dBm when the chassis power is on and +20 dBm when the chassis power is off. In terms of power consumption, it is 0.6 W at 5 V and 0.6 W at 3.3 V for PXI; and 0.4 W at 12 V and 1 W at 3.3 V for PXI Express.
• Insertion Loss: ≤2.4 GHz, the insertion loss is <4.1 dB (typical value <3.4 dB); ≤6 GHz, it is <5.8 dB (typical value <5.1 dB); ≤6.6 GHz, it is <7.0 dB (typical value <6.1 dB).
• Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR): ≤2.4 GHz, VSWR is <1.7 (typical value <1.5); ≤6 GHz, VSWR is <1.8 (typical value <1.5); ≤6.6 GHz, VSWR is <2.4 (typical value <1.6).
• Isolation: For CH - COM isolation, ≤2.4 GHz, it is >70 dB (typical value >84 dB); ≤6 GHz, it is >61 dB (typical value >74 dB); ≤6.6 GHz, it is >59 dB (typical value <72 dB). For CH - CH isolation, ≤2.4 GHz, it is >69 dB (typical value >90 dB); ≤6 GHz, it is >58 dB (typical value >74 dB); ≤6.6 GHz, it is >53 dB (typical value <71 dB).
• Switching Time: The maximum switch operate time is 76 microseconds (measured from trig in falling to 10% to the 90% of final value at the output).
• Trigger - related: The input trigger pulse width can be recognized as less than 150 nanoseconds (when the digital filter is disabled). The output trigger can be sent to PXI trigger lines <0...7>, and the default pulse width is 2 μs (typical).
• Mechanical and Environmental: It is a 3U, one - slot, PXI/cPCI module, compatible with PXI Express. The size is 21.6 cm × 2.0 cm × 13.0 cm (8.5 in. × 0.8 in. × 5.1 in.), and the weight is 774 g (27.3 oz). The operating temperature range is 0 °C to 55 °C, the storage temperature range is - 20 °C to 70 °C, the relative humidity is 5% to 85% (non - condensing), the pollution degree is 2, and the maximum altitude is 2,000 m. It is for indoor use only.
