Pickering 40-726-511-L RF Coaxial Matrix Module
The Pickering 40-726-511-L is a high-density PXI RF switch matrix module that is designed to allow for complex routing of RF signals within automated test and measurement systems. The 40-726-511-L has a configurable 12x8 coaxial matrix so that each of the 12 input ports can be routed to each of the 8 output ports through software control. The module is specifically designed for switching of 50-ohm coaxial signals at frequencies up to 300 MHz and thus may be applied to many types of RF and IF test and measurement applications. The front panel has rugged SMB connectors for reliable connection of coaxial cable in the harsh environment of a test laboratory.
In practical terms, this RF matrix module will play a significant role in the construction of flexible ATE used in manufacturing verification, R&D, and component testing. The matrix will enable the routing of multiple signal sources (such as oscilloscopes and/or signal generators) to one or more DUTs without requiring manual re-cabling of the test setup. These capabilities are essential to increase the throughput of test processes and to ensure reproducible test results in a production line setting. The module will fit directly into a PXI or PXI Express chassis and will utilize the platform’s high-speed data bus to provide control and synchronization of the module’s operation with other instrumentation.
One of the most unique features of the 40-726-511-L is its built-in Y-axis loop through capability. The loop through capability enables the user to connect many identical modules together directly from the front panel by utilizing the provided cables and to create much larger matrix configurations than would have been possible with individual modules alone, i.e., 24x8 or 96x8 matrices while maintaining signal integrity. All X and Y connections on the module include isolation switches to provide additional channel separation and to reduce crosstalk. The module is constructed using long life reed relays, providing reliable switching for millions of cycles, which is a critical feature of any industrial automation solution requiring continuous operation.
