Switching systems can be used in automated test equipment for aerospace applications
Giga-tronics
Ascor 50 and 67GHz switching systems
Giga-tronics is introducing the 50 and 67GHz switching systems, which are intended for use in automated test equipment for a number of aerospace and defence applications, including the testing of inter-satellite and point-to-point communication systems.
The new systems expand the capability of the Series 8000 and 8800 ranges from Giga-tronics Ascor, and also cover the frequency band intended for the wireless transmission of multimedia data (wireless HDMI).
Giga-tronics Ascor selects the relays that offer the best performance for the application, including high isolation, low insertion loss and high reliability.
Key specifications
- Available in a variety of configurations from a collection of individual relays, multiplexers and matrices
- For 50/ 67GHz switching solutions, configurations are comprised of SPDT, terminated SPDT, transfer, four- and five-port relays
- Switching solutions can be controlled over IEEE-488 (GPIB) or LAN using simple SCPI commands
- Optional front-panel LEDs provide test engineers instant status of all relay contacts to monitor system operation
