Description
The 778572-46 is a high-performance PXI Switch belonging to the PXI-2546 model series. This device is specifically designed as a 2.7 GHz 50 Ohm Dual 4X1 Multiplexer, making it a highly effective solution for RF Signal Multiplexer Switching Module applications, particularly for fault insertion in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems.
It finds its applications across various demanding fields such as consumer electronics, aviation, and defense, where reliability and precision are paramount. Among its standout features are hardware triggering, onboard relay count tracking, and reconfigurable topology, which collectively enhance its versatility and performance in complex multiplexing tasks.
The device boasts an impressive bandwidth of 2.7 GHz, ensuring minimal signal degradation across its operational range. Additionally, it maintains an insertion loss at 2.7 GHz of less than 1.35 dB (with typical values being even lower at less than 1.05 dB), guaranteeing excellent signal fidelity. Furthermore, the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) at 2.7 GHz is kept below 1.7 (with typical figures below 1.5), further emphasizing its efficiency in signal handling.
Supporting the robust hardware is the NI Switch Executive software, which simplifies system integration and enhances user control over the switching configurations, thereby streamlining the testing and development processes. This combination of advanced technical specifications and supportive software makes the PXI-2546 an indispensable tool in the arsenal of engineers working on critical signal routing tasks in high-stakes environments.
