Description
The Part Number 780587-46 refers to a high-performance PXI Switch, specifically the Model PXIe-2746. This unit is a 3 GHz Quad 4×1 Multiplexer, designed to meet the demanding requirements of high-channel-count RF signal routing. It finds its application primarily in consumer electronics, aerospace, and defense sectors, where precise and reliable signal routing is critical.
The PXIe-2746 boasts a 4-bank, 4-channel RF Multiplexer configuration, offering flexibility in connecting multiple RF signals. Users have the option to choose between Electromechanical and FET relay options, depending on their specific application needs. Among its notable features are hardware triggering, onboard relay count tracking, and RF path calibration detail saving, which enhance its performance and usability.
With a bandwidth of up to 2.7 GHz, this multiplexer can handle a maximum switching voltage of 30 V and a maximum RF power of 10 W. It supports a maximum switching/carry current of 0.5 A per channel, catering to a broad range of RF applications. The power requirement is minimal, with 3.96 W at 3.3 V and 0.2 W at 12 V, making it an energy-efficient choice for many systems.
The PXIe-2746 is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C, with a relative humidity range of 5% to 95% (noncondensing). It is engineered to withstand random vibration, operating within a frequency range of 5 Hz to 500 Hz at 0.3 grms, and it can handle up to 2.4 grms when non-operating. This robustness ensures reliable performance in a variety of environmental conditions, further solidifying its utility in demanding applications.
