Description
The Part Number for this product is 196218H-01, with an alternate part number of 778572-57. This part falls under the Category of PXI Switches. Specifically, the model in question is the PXI-2557.
The Description of the PXI-2557 is a 2.5 GHz 75 Ohm 8X1 Multiplexer. This high-performance multiplexer is ideal for Application in switching of video RF signals, including directing multiple video tuners to a single channel on an RF analyzer. This is particularly useful in scenarios requiring high-quality signal transmission without degradation.
One of the critical specifications of this multiplexer is its Insertion Loss, which is a measure of signal attenuation and power loss during routing. This specification is crucial for understanding how much signal strength is lost when the signal passes through the multiplexer.
Another vital specification is the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio). This is the ratio of reflected to transmitted waves, indicating the level of energy loss and the potential for damage in RF applications due to impedance mismatch. A lower VSWR is typically desired as it indicates less power is reflected and more is transmitted through the device.
