Pickering RF/Microwave Switching Solutions
RF & Microwave Switches are devices that route high-frequency signals via impedance-matched transmission paths. They are used extensively in microwave test systems to flexibly connect instruments to devices under test (DUTs). This allows multiple tests to be performed with the same setup and eliminates the need for frequent cable connects and disconnects.
Pickering RF/Microwave products include, SPDT, Transfer, MUX and Matrix switches with bandwidths from DC to 67GHz, and are available on PXI, LXI & USB platforms. Flexible options for control communications and system architecture are offered. On the LXI platform, Pickering offers turnkey fully integrated solutions based on customer’s high-level requirements.
With Pickering’s Switch Path Manager Signal Routing Software, an entire switching system, including relays and external interconnects, can be defined in a virtual way to accelerate integration.
