Description
The PXI-2591 is an RF Multiplexer Switch Module that carries the part number 778339-01. This high-performance module is configured in a 4 x 1 setup, designed to operate over a frequency range from DC to 4 GHz. It is specifically engineered to handle a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of RF applications.
With a maximum voltage rating of 30 Vrms and a maximum current capacity of 330 mA, this module can safely manage significant power levels, up to a maximum switching power of 10 Watts. Its performance is characterized by an insertion loss of <0.6 dB at ≤2.5 GHz and <0.9 dB at ≤4 GHz, ensuring high signal fidelity and minimal signal degradation.
The PXI-2591 is compatible with STAR and PXI trigger lines 0-7, which allows for versatile and precise control in automated test setups. It can accurately respond to trigger signals with a minimum pulse width of 70 ns. The module utilizes non-latching electromechanical relays with gold contacts, providing both reliability and excellent conductivity for signal routing. The operate/release time is specified at 15 ms, contributing to the efficient operation of the module.
