PXI Flexible Microwave Module 40-890-XXX*
PXIe Flexible Microwave Module 42-890-XXX*
*XXX corresponds to a unique three digit suffix that will be
assigned by the factory to a particular microwave switching
module configuration, for example:
4x-890-001 = SP4T 40 GHz (2), SPDT 40 GHz (1) unterminated
4x-890-002 = SP4T-T 40 GHz (2), SPDT 40 GHz (1) unterminated
4x-890-003 = SP6T 26.5 GHz (2), SPDT 26.5 GHz (1) unterminated
4x-890-004 = SP6T-T 26.5 GHz (2), SPDT 26.5 GHz (1) unterminated
4x-890-005 = SP6T 40 GHz (2), SPDT 40 GHz (1) unterminated
4x-890-006 = SP6T-T 40 GHz (2), SPDT 40 GHz (1) unterminated
(4x- corresponds to the bus interface, 40- for PXI, 42- for PXIe).
Note: The above example part numbers represent only a small
selection of the wide range of configurations available.
