The Cal-Bay Systems RF Switch Assemblies feature high performance and high reliability in a standard 19” rack-mountable enclosure. These assemblies are ideal for RF test systems and general-purpose automated test equipment (ATE) systems where one instrument channel must be used to measure multiple test points. Due to the high performance RF frequency range up to 18 GHz, the switch matrix will not distort high frequency test signals in the GHz range. The instrument can be operated remotely from a PC via a web-based interface (through a web browser) or a message based interface utilizing serial or Ethernet TCP/IP. Fully functional LabVIEW instrument drivers and sample programs are provided. Driver commands such as Make Path and Break Path can be used to easily integrate the switch in a larger application.
