New RF matrices
26 November 2009
Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of customer focused LXI switch matrices with the introduction of the 60-730 and 60-770 RF.
These matrices have been designed for switching signals to frequencies up to 2.5GHz. The 60-770 is a 50Ω RF Matrix available in 32x8, 24x8, 16x8 and 8x8 configurations contained within a compact 3U rack mountable case. Front panel connectors are SMA.
The 60-730 is a 75Ω RF matrix available in 32x16, 16x16, 16x8 and 8x8 configurations contained within a 6U rack mountable case. Front panel connectors are F Type, allowing the LXI device to be used in typical coaxial video applications.
These new RF Devices can be constructed in a variety of configurations to meet specific user requests. The construction method ensures the matrices offer excellent crosstalk and isolation characteristics and provide a cost effective solution for the complex routing of RF signals in test systems. The products all use high reliability EMR relays and can be offered in other configurations and connector styles to meet individual user needs.
David Owen, Business Development Manager for Pickering Interfaces commented: “The innovative construction of these new matrices allows us to offer a range of RF matrices in 50 or 75Ω that can be scaled to specific user requests for different matrix sizes with minimal tooling investment and a fast design cycle. For the first time, integrated RF matrices can be offered to users with a large variety of matrix sizes and connector styles, in a compact form factor. The virtually cable free internal construction assures the user of improved specifications compared to competitive solutions. This is an important addition to Pickering Interfaces’ range of LXI compliant switching products that meets the needs for many applications for RF switching”
