Control Configuration
Units are supplied with both parallel TTL and USB 2.0
interfaces. The mode of operation is determined by the
source of DC power to the unit. NOTE: Do not simultaneously connect DC power to the TTL connector while
the USB is connected.
USING USB CONFIGURATION: The USB interface is
compatible with standard USB 2.0 interfaces. In USB
mode, DC power to the attenuator is provided by the
host USB connection. The attenuator operates as a USB
CDC device and accepts simple ASCII text commands.
This allows the unit to be controlled from any system
capable of sending data via a standard COM port-style
interface.

USING TTL CONTROL: Each unit is supplied with a
mating 10 pin connector (Amp 746285-1). Refer to
Physical Dimensions for mating connector pin/wiring
details. Two pins are specified for supply voltage and
ground. The remaining pins will accept TTL control
signals to activate or de-activate a particular attenuation
cell. A TTL high will energize a cell to the high attenuation state, whereas a TTL low will maintain a cell in its
zero attenuation state.

Weinschel Model 8304-5 RF Switching System is part of an automated test set-up for various types of commercial and military
radios. The difference in the test set up and configuration between
different types of radios will be the control interconnect cables
used.
The block diagram below shows the RF Switch Subsystem which
is designed to control and test up to 5 radios at a time. This subsystem acts as an interface and is connected to a Model 3901
Digital Radio Test Set (customer provided) to enable the total system to automatically connect signals to 5 radios. The RF signals
are routed through an internal electro-mechanical switch. The
Digital Radio Test Set is used as the controller, signal stimulus and
measurement instrument.
All switching selection occurs via the USB control port located on
the rear panel of the Model 8304-5. The RF Switching System is
an RF subsystem that utilizes an internal Micro Computer to provide control of the switches and relays via the USB to serial
interface.

Programmable Attenuation Profile
Simulator Unit, Model 8334
Features
Applications
o Programmable attenuation update rates from 50 μsec.
per point to 1 second per point in 50 μsec. intervals
o External TTL trigger (with programmable polarity) allows for
synchronization with other external hardware
o Various TTL status outputs (Running, Programmable Sync,

between a handset and multiple base stations
o Create arbitrary, synchronous attenuation profiles with
timing skews of <10 nsec. between channels to replicate
precision fading and handover scenarios
o Generate coherent, multi-channel pulsed RF outputs for a
given attenuation level
o Supplied with industry standard communication interfaces:
- RS-232 (Serial)
- Ethernet Control (10/100 BaseT)
- USB 2.0
o Rack Configurable: Rack ears are supplied

Weinschel 8334 Series of Attenuation Profile Simulators provide multi-channel high-speed attenuation control with
synchronous output update capability. The unit allows for
programming of up to 128K (131072) attenuation data points
per attenuator and sweeping through those data points at
user-programmable intervals from 50 μsec to 1 sec per point.
The system provides for non-volatile storage of up to four
data point tables which may be later recalled under user control. Status and control TTL signals are available for
external monitoring and sweep control via a rear-panel DE9
connector.

RoHS
The Weinschel Model 8512 Series of Programmable Switch
Units offer a compact, expandable, rack mount solution for a
variety of test, subsystem, and system applications. The Model
8512 Series operates over the DC to 18/26.5 GHz
frequency range, with SP3T to SP6T configurations with up to
14/6 switches respectively. Ethernet, USB, and RS-232 control
interfaces are standard, along with LabVIEWTM based control
software. A GPIB/IEEE-488 interface is also available as an
option.
Using the Switch Control Center Software supplied with each
unit, the user can quickly set up and operate the unit’s switches independently, or using the Configure Virtual Switch option,
create custom “tree” or “matrix” configurations by assigning
input, output, and path labels as required.
Weinschel also provides custom configurations where a variety
of configurations can be incorporated within a single unit.
Please contact us with your specialized needs.
o LabVIEWTM based Switch Control Software included.
o Compact 2 RU, 19” Rack Mount Configuration. Other
configurations avaiable.
Applications
o Wi-Fi, WiMAX, 4G LTE Base Station Testing.
o Signal routing from multiple instruments to single
or multiple DUTs.
o Production Testing - Multiple tests can be performed
using the same test setup.
o ATE and STE applications requiring configuration
flexibility.
Control Software Included
Weinschel LabVIEWTM based Switch Control Center Software
(SCCS) is to be used in conjunction with the operation of the
Weinschel 8512 series of programmable switch units. The
SCCS will allow the user setup, control and perform tests and
measurements using these programmable switch units over
standard communication interfaces.
Redundant 3 x 3 matrix with fixed attenuators in
the redundant paths as an example of an
8512-06-XX application.

Weinschel Models 8390 and 8390-1, Amplifier / Switch Unit is
comprised of an array of eight input switches (S1-S8), a relaybased step attenuator that provides 0-31 dB of attenuation in 1 dB
steps and an output RF amplifier. Switch, S8 is terminated with a
50 Ω termination at port 2. Each input/output port contains a
masking pad. The unit includes a front-panel interface for status
and control, and supports programming via a serial RS232 port
and/or 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port.

High Reliability Attenuators
(DC to 18 / 40 GHz)
Model
273
Since 1952, Weinschel has supplied high quality precision coaxial attenuators and
terminations to test and calibration labs throughout the world. These products offer
rugged construction, frequency ranges up to 40 GHz, many standard dB values and
power handling to 1,500 Watts.
Weinschel has released the Model 32K, DC to 40 GHz, 2 Watt High Reliability Fixed
Coaxial Attenuator designed specifically for space applications. The Model 32K is
available with SMK connectors in dB values of 3, 6, 10, 20 and 30. Other features
include 1.25-1.45 maximum SWR, + 1.00-1.50 dB deviation, quality connectors, and
an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +100 °C.
Model
274
Model
32K
Also being introduced is a line of hi-reliability fixed attenuators (Models 272-274,
276) specifically designed as commercial alternative to MIL-DTL-3933 CLASS
IIWI/IVE, N/S (N=Non-Screened, S=Screened) attenuators. These units are
designed to meet the MIL-DTL-3933 requirements.
