The 40-882B (PXI) and 42-882B (PXIe) are 50Ω SP4T
multiplexers which can operate beyond 8 GHz. They are
available as single format in one PXI or PXIe slot, dual format
in two slots, or triple and quad formats in three slots.
The 40/42-882B has low VSWR over the full frequency range
and consistent insertion loss. The use of solid state switches
ensures a long service life with no wear out mechanism,
making the module ideal for ATE systems requiring frequent
and fast operating RF switching. The multiplexer can handle
RF power up to +36 dBm CW and +38 dBm pulsed and is
able to sustain frequent hot switching without performance
degradation.
The module is fitted with SMA connectors, ensuring
compatibility with commonly used cables.
The 40/42-882B is supplied with drivers that allow support
in all popular software environments. The PXI version can
also be supported in all Pickering’s LXI Modular Switching
chassis, allowing the use of a PXI or LAN controlled switching
solution with the same high levels of performance.
