Description
The product with the Part Number 196218B-01, also known as Alternative Part Number 778572-57, falls under the category of PXI Switches. Specifically, it is the model PXI-2557, which is designed as a 2.5 GHz 75 Ohm 8X1 Multiplexer. This device is categorized as a PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module.
Its primary Application is for the Switching of multiple video RF signals, from video tuners to an RF analyzer. This functionality is crucial in environments where precise and reliable routing of RF signals is necessary.
The Insertion Loss specification indicates a measure of attenuation and power loss on the signal, which is an important parameter for understanding how much signal strength is lost in the process of routing through the switch. Additionally, the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) is a critical specification, providing a ratio of reflected to transmitted waves. This ratio is a key indicator of energy loss due to impedance mismatches, highlighting the efficiency of the device in transmitting RF signals with minimal reflection.
