Description
The National Instruments PXI-2796 RF Multiplexer Switch Module, with a part number of 782356-01, falls under the category of PXI Switches. This particular model, the PXI-2796, is designed to meet the demands of high-frequency signal routing, supporting a frequency range up to 40 GHz. Its configuration as a Dual 6×1 Multiplexer allows for flexible routing options within a test system.
The module boasts an impedance of 50 Ω, aligning with standard RF and microwave systems. It is capable of handling a maximum voltage of 30 Vrms and a maximum carry current of 0.6 Arms per channel. When it comes to power, the PXI-2796 can manage a maximum RF carry power of 18 W (at a 50 Ω load) and operates efficiently with an RF carry power of 5 W (≤40 GHz).
In terms of performance, the module ensures minimal signal degradation with an insertion loss of less than 1.1 dB and a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of less than 2.2. It also provides excellent signal isolation with open channel isolation of more than 45 dB, ensuring that signal interference is minimized. The contact material used in the switches is beryllium copper, gold-plated, chosen for its durability and reliability over time. Lastly, the module’s operate/release time is 15 ms, facilitating rapid switching between signal paths.
