Switch Carrier Controls 26.5 GHz

Aug. 26, 2010

The EX1200-7100 from VTI Instruments Corp. is a 26.5-GHz microwave switch carrier and relay driver ideal for managing complex signal routing in manual and automatic test systems. The solution can be configured with a wide range of microwave switches from a variety of manufacturers, and can include dual single-pole, double-throw (SPDT), single-pole, four-throw (SP4T), single-pole, six-throw (SP6T), and transfer switches. Nearly 60 switch points can be maintained within a 1U rack space, and switch modules can be mixed and matched with other EX1200 plug-in modules. It can be easily connected to an LXI interface to form an automated measurement system.
