6-GHz PXI cards offer consistent performance

6-GHz PXI cards offer consistent performance

Three 10-MHz to 6-GHz PXI switches and a 10-MHz to 6-GHz programmable attenuator have been designed with low VSWR and, high switch isolation to provide consistent RF performance. Each product uses solid-state switches with automatic termination of unused paths to reduce VSWR effects in connecting cables.

The 40-880 SPDT switch is available in dual, quad, hex, and octal configurations; the 40-881 SP6T is available as a single or dual version; and the 40-882 SP4T switch is available in single, dual, triple or quad configurations. The switches occupy one to three 3U PXI slots depending on configuration. The 41-182 solid state programmable attenuator is available in single, dual or triple configurations, each with a 0 to 31.75-dB attenuation range in 0.25-dB steps.
