Pickering 40-785A-523-TE PXI Remote Microwave Multiplexer
The Pickering 40-785A-523-TE PXI remote microwave multiplexer is a panel mounted switching module. It supports single or dual 6 channel microwave multiplexer modes. The unit provides remote multiplexer capability for flexible PXI based routing. The remote design positions microwave relays closer to the UUT for improved performance. It supports up to 3 remote multiplexers from a single PXI slot version. The module is available in 18 GHz 26.5 GHz and 40 GHz bandwidth versions. The design includes 50 Ohm SMA style connectors for consistent high frequency signal integrity.
The initial on path resistance is specified as less than 200 m-Ohm under test. The off path resistance is greater than 1×10¹â° Ohm unterminated. The operating temperature range of the multiplexer is 0 °C to 55 °C in varying environments. The 40-785A-523-TE meets 3U PXI and 3U cPCI specifications, making it well-suited with legacy and hybrid peripheral slots in 3U PXIe chassis. The design supports LXI or LXI USB modular for extended integration flexibility. The mechanical construction meets vibration requirements of sine 1 mm from 5 to 60 Hz. The multiplexer unit tolerates sine 10 g from 60 to 2000 Hz under defined vibration conditions. The switching time across channels is specified as 15 ms under normal load conditions. The maximum rated voltage is 100 VDC for controlled microwave signal operation. The maximum switch current is 1 A for defined switching paths within the multiplexer.
The Pickering 40-785A-523-TE microwave multiplexer maintains stable electrical performance at full stated working range. The 40 GHz version provides an insertion loss of less than 1.1 dB with a VSWR below 1:2.2 across the rated bandwidth. The design ensures isolation higher than 50 dB for defined microwave paths. The expected mechanical life is 2×10â¶ operations under controlled operating conditions. The mechanical and electrical characteristics support repeatable performance for long term automated testing. The power requirements define a stable operating profile for the 40-785A-523-TE multiplexer with regulated supply inputs at +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V and –12 V. The unit draws 0 A current from the +3.3 V and –12 V rails while drawing 0.2 A from the +5 V rail and 0.75 A from the +12 V rail.
