At IMS 2024 in Washington D.C. last week, Pickering Interfaces showcased its new family of high-channel-count, PXI/PXIe microwave multiplexer (MUX) modules from 8 to 40 GHz. Models 40/42-788 are based on high-quality Radiall mechanical microwave switches and are available in versatile switching configurations, that include single or dual SP8T, SP10T, or SP12T multiplexers.
The devices handle microwave switching applications along with many uses across the RF spectrum calling for extremely low insertion loss and ultra-high isolation. Their high channel counts mean fewer switches and associated interconnections are required for microwave switching applications, improving signal quality and ease of programming.
Other products featured in Pickering’s IMS Booth include:
- MEMS-based PXI/PXIe RF multiplexers that deliver 300X operational life and 60X test system throughput compared to existing electromechanical relay products.
- A 110-GHz PXI/PXIe microwave switch that supports 5G and semiconductor test.
- A configurable PXI microwave switch platform that enables RF test engineers to combine a wide range of high-performance relay types while minimizing chassis slot usage.
- Pickering’s Microwave Design Tool is a free online tool for configuring flexible PXI and LXI microwave switch products.
- Flexible LXI microwave switch platform and turnkey services for LXI microwave switch and signal routing subsystems, as well as an LXI microwave switching matrix demo.
