Pickering 40-780-524 PXI/PXIe Microwave Relay
The Pickering 40-780-524 microwave relay is a precision switching module designed for controlled high frequency routing across RF domains. The module supports defined SPDT architecture that maintains stable switching behavior across tightly controlled test configurations. It maintains 50 Ohms characteristic impedance that ensures accurate transmission through matched paths. The 40-780-524 microwave module includes SMA connectivity and uses a failsafe mechanism that provides consistent default switching conditions. It supports maximum frequency operation of 20 GHz with controlled phase stability. The rise time remains less than 3 ps which preserves accurate propagation timing across critical high frequency circuits. Insertion loss remains less than 0.5 dB which maintains defined power levels across active paths. The V.S.W.R stays below 1:1.5 across the same band which ensures controlled impedance alignment under load.
The isolation exceeds 60 dB below 20 GHz which prevents unintended coupling across adjacent switching channels. Maximum power handling of the 40-780-524 reaches 100 W below 3 GHz which maintains controlled thermal behavior during extended operation. Power capability reduces to 60 W between 3 GHz and 12 GHz which supports stable performance across mid-band regions. The microwave relay supports 100 V DC maximum voltage which maintains predictable switching limits across controlled environments. Maximum switch current of 1 A defines stable conduction characteristics for high frequency systems. On path resistance remains below 200 m-Ohms which preserves accurate low loss transmission during active routing. The defined 30 W handling between 12 GHz and 20 GHz ensures appropriate operation in upper microwave ranges.
The vibration capability includes 1 mm sine displacement from 5 Hz to 60 Hz which maintains structural stability during mobile operations. Additional vibration specification includes 10 g sine acceleration between 60 Hz and 2000 Hz which supports reliable field deployment. Expected life under maximum power exceeds 5×10ⶠoperations which defines appropriate actuator endurance across intensive workloads. The switching time of 15 ms maintains predictable actuation timing for coordinated routing across multi-channel networks in the 40-780-524 microwave relay. Isolation exceeds 55 dB below 26.5 GHz which provides stable channel separation during complex switching sequences. Expected life for the 40 GHz range reaches 1×10â· operations which supports extended operational requirements.
