The system is configured with maximum (10) inputs and (10) outputs, but can be configured to a smaller crossbar matrix as required. The unit is unique in the sense that both inputs and outputs are terminated with a 50 W load and it uses latching coaxial switches. These type of switches have the benefit of stop drawing current after a path has been selected and stays in its last position if a power loss occurs. Furthermore, the unit is ideal to be used for testing, since one can easily access the I/O ports (as they are mounted on the front panel) to connect and disconnect UUTs. The unit is equipped with front panel LCD/keypad display for manual and local control, and remotely it can be controlled via Ethernet (ENET) or GPIB. The LNET version uses a LXI based protocol, which allows the user only to control the unit remotely and via a web-browser. Control Interfaces Local control (on the front panel): >> The system is equipped with manual control via a 4-line LCD (4x40) display and keypad control (except for the LNET version). Remote Control (on the rear panel): All versions are equipped with >> RS-232 (DP9 female) connector with Baud Rate 9600 bps >> CANBus (DP9 male) used for programming the unit >> SCPI commands Environment Line Voltage: Fuse/Breaker: Storage Temperature: Operating Temperature: Operating Humidity: 120-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 3-6 A Externally accessible/replaceable -20 °C to +70 °C 0 °C to +50 °C 10-80% (non-condensing) v2.0 01/09 Normally Open Multiposition Beryllium copper, gold-plated SMA Female 19" wide standard rack mount 4U maximum height (7") 20" maximum depth Gray 42 lbs RF Characteristics Impedance: Operating Frequency: Switching Speed: Operating Life: 50 Ohms DC-18 GHz 50-100 ms (max) 1,000,000 cycles (Cold Switching) Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) Frequency (GHz) DC-4 4-8 8-12 12-16 16-18 1.20:1 1.35:1 1.45:1 1.75:1 2.0:1 Insertion Loss (dB) Frequency (GHz) DC-4 4-8 8-12 12-16 16-18 2.5 3.0 4.5 6.0 6.7 Open Channel Isolation (dB) ENET or LNET Version (Options): >> TCP/IP control via 802.3 protocol (Ethernet) >> Supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-T via RJ-45 connector. >> LXI style remote access via any web browser (only LNET version) GPIB Version (Option): >> IEEE-488 with 26 pin female connector Physical Relay Type: Contact Material: I/O Connector Type: Dimensions: Front Panel Color: Weight (max): Frequency (GHz) DC-4 4-8 8-12 12-16 16-18 75 70 65 60 60 RF CW Power (W)* Frequency (GHz) DC-4 4-8 8-12 12-16 16-18 100 W 80 W 60 W 50 W 40 W * Combined input power on all inputs (at the same time) www.dowkey.com [email protected]
