Pickering 10-785A-521 PXI RF Multiplexer
The Pickering 10-785A-521 PXI single 6-Channel RF multiplexer is a compact switching module designed for precise high frequency routing. The unit supports demanding RF test setups that require controlled multiplexing paths. It maintains signal integrity and ensures consistent isolation between switching paths. The 10-785A-521 PXI multiplexer allows single or dual channel configurations for varied test environments. It allows connection of up to 3 remote mux from single slot versions. The unit maintains control through PXI bus communication and preserves reliable path management. The drivers are supplied for Windows and Linux with support for real time systems. The software integration supports flexible deployment across different development environments. The module operates in PXI or LXI chassis for compatibility with established test platforms. The PXI bus uses a 32-bit P1 J1 backplane connector for consistent communication.
The multiplexer supports versions rated at 18 GHz, 26.5 GHz and 40 GHz for broad application coverage. The SMA style connectors support 50 Ohms operation while SMA 2.9 connectors support 40 GHz paths. The structure supports coaxial routing without degrading critical RF parameters. The 10-785A-521 module features 50 Ohms terminated versions and 75 Ohms versions with 4 GHz bandwidth. These configurations support matched impedance environments across many test conditions. It maintains controlled return loss across the specified impedance range. The signal interface uses coaxial connectors on microwave switches for controlled transmission. The 20 GHz and 26.5 GHz versions use SMA connectors that provide stable coupling. The 10-785A-521 multiplexer support maximum voltage of 100 V DC and maximum switch current of 1 A.
The initial on path resistance is less than 200 m-Ohms which ensures low loss. The off path resistance is greater than 1e10 Ohms when unterminated which ensures strong isolation. The vibration rating includes sine 1 mm from 5 Hz to 60 Hz and sine 10 g from 60 Hz to 2000 Hz. The switching time is 15 ms which supports controlled timing in automated systems. The Pickering 10-785A-521 multiplexer uses an interface that involves 3 cables with 1.5 m length. The maximum power rating is 120 W from 8 GHz to 12.4 GHz and 100 W from 12.4 GHz to 18 GHz. The module includes a 3-year warranty that supports long term deployment. The structural design allows stable mounting in panel assemblies.
