Description
The Part Number 778572-45 identifies a specific model of PXI Switches, designated as the PXI-2545. This model is characterized by its application as an RF Signal Multiplexer Switching Module, specifically designed for scenarios requiring the multiplexing of radio frequency signals. The PXI-2545 is notable for its capability to handle frequencies up to 2.7 GHz with a 50 Ohm impedance, configured as a 4X1 Terminated Multiplexer.
One of the critical features of this model is its internal termination, which is implemented to prevent high-power reflections that could potentially damage the equipment or degrade signal quality. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where signal integrity is of paramount importance. Additionally, the PXI-2545 boasts several essential features such as insertion loss, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), and isolation, ensuring optimal performance in demanding environments.
The device supports various configurations, allowing for multiple inputs to be directed to a single output or vice versa, thereby offering flexibility in setting up complex test and measurement scenarios. Furthermore, it employs a variety of relay types including Armored-type electromechanical, Reed, FET, and Solid-state relays, providing versatility to match specific application requirements.
An important aspect of the PXI-2545 is its capability for Relay Account Tracking. This feature enables users to monitor and predict the life expectancy of the relays, thus ensuring reliability and reducing downtime by preemptively identifying components that may require maintenance or replacement.
Lastly, the PXI-2545 is compatible with a range of software, including NI-SWITCH, IVI, and NI Switch Executive. This ensures that it can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems and controlled via familiar software solutions, simplifying the process of implementation and operation within a wide array of RF signal processing and testing applications.
