Description
The Part Number 782356-01 corresponds to a high-performance PXI Switch, specifically the PXI-2796 model. This device stands out for its impressive capability to handle frequencies up to 40 GHz, making it a perfect fit for advanced RF applications. Its configuration as a Dual 6×1 Multiplexer (SP6T) allows for versatile switching options within complex setups.
The impedance rating of the PXI-2796 is 50 Ω, which matches the standard for most RF systems, ensuring compatibility and efficient performance. When it comes to handling power, this multiplexer is designed to manage up to 18 W (at 50 Ω load) of RF carry power, with a specific capability of 5 W at frequencies ≤40 GHz. For applications involving higher voltages, it can tolerate up to 30 Vrms, and each channel can carry a maximum current of 0.6 Arms.
One of the key performance indicators of RF switches, the insertion loss, is remarkably low at < 1.1 dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. Additionally, the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is kept under 2.2, indicating an efficient transfer of power to the load. The device also boasts excellent open channel isolation of > 45 dB, ensuring that signal bleed-through is minimized.
The contact material used in the PXI-2796 is gold-plated beryllium copper, chosen for its durability and excellent conductivity. This choice of materials contributes to the switch’s reliability and longevity. Moreover, the switch operates with a swift operate/release time of 15 ms, facilitating quick changes in signal routing without significant delays.
In summary, the PXI-2796 is a robust and versatile PXI switch designed for high-frequency RF applications. Its technical specifications, including its dual 6×1 multiplexer configuration, high maximum frequency, and low insertion loss, make it an excellent choice for a wide
