National Instruments PXI-2597 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module

The NI PXI-2597 (Part Number: 778572-97) 50-ohm, terminated RF Multiplexer Switch Module can course signals, while maintaining a strategic distance from appearance in high-power applications. This module includes intelligent switch control and debugging boards to additionally quicken framework development by visually determining and seeing switch closures. NI Switch Executive delivers an instinctive programming interface, abstracting low-level switch programming and setup from test applications greatly expanding test code reuse and switch framework support. The PXI-2597 module adds to the more than 100 switch configurations accessible from National Instruments in the PXI and SCXI platforms. When combined with certain instruments and intuitive programming, such as NI Switch Executive, specialists can utilize these changes to shape the building squares of useful test frameworks, in-circuit analyzers, or assemble deformity analyzers in an assortment of enterprises. The device has a switch bandwidth of 26.5 GHz.

The external trigger, sourced by an instrument, such as a NI PXI-2597 discretionary waveform generator, makes the Multiplexer Switch Module advance to the following passage in the output list. The scanner advanced trigger demonstrates when the module has shut all predetermined relays and the relays have settled. The scanner advanced trigger is normally associated with an estimation gadget. The device is equipped with 7 SMA jack I/O connectors, and has PXI power requirements of 2.5 W at 3.3 V, 1 W at 5 V, and 3 W at 12 V.

The NI PXI-2597 RF Multiplexer Switch Module offers 6 channels, 0.2 dB of insertion loss, 80 dB of isolation, SMA Connectors, 50 Ohms of Impedance, a Dual mode, 26.5 GHz of frequency, 51.76 dBm of power, a relay operate time of 15 ms–the relay type is electromechanical non-latching, a recommended cycle speed of 5 channels per second, a life expectancy of 2 x 106 cycles, a recommended operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C, and a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C. It has a maximum carry current of 1.73 Arms per channel, and a maximum RF carry power of 150 W at a load of 50 Ω. The device weighs 17.3 oz., and measures 8.5 x 2.4 x 5.1 in. in physical dimensions.
