Description
The product with Part Number 778572-48 falls under the category of PXI Switches and is designated as model PXI-2548. This model is specifically a PXI RF Relay Module, designed to facilitate high-frequency switching applications within a PXI chassis environment.
Its relay configuration is SPDT (Single-Pole, Double-Throw), Independent Relays, which allows for flexible connection paths. The module boasts a minimum resolution of 0.25 Ω, ensuring precise measurement and control over the signal path resistance.
Regarding connectivity, it features a 37-pin D-SUB connector on the front panel and 2×2 Micro-Fit connectors, providing versatile interfacing options with other components or external devices.
The PXI-2548 excels in high-frequency applications, with a bandwidth that extends up to 2.7 GHz. At this frequency, it maintains an insertion loss of less than 1.0 dB, typically below 0.7 dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. Furthermore, its Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) at 2.7 GHz is less than 1.7, with typical values falling below 1.5, which indicates efficient signal transmission with minimal reflection.
An additional feature of this module is its onboard relay counting capability, which facilitates the monitoring and management of relay operations, enhancing the reliability and longevity of the device.
