EX72SF

2U Mainframe, High-Performance, DC-26.5 GHz up to 12 uWave building blocks

The EX72SF is a high-density microwave switching platform that is designed to address applications that demand maximum performance, flexible design options, and an operating range to either 20 GHz, 26.5 GHz, 40, or 67 GHz. Configuration options include self-termination of unused ports and an expected lifetime of > 5 million cycles. Any combination of up to twelve latching building blocks can be housed in a single 2U rack LXI Class A enclosure. Building block topologies include SPDT, SP4T, SP6T, and transfer switches, as well as a 6-line pass-through adapter and 32-bit TTL I/O bus that can be used to drive external circuitry.

Intuitive Command and Control
The EX72SF software architecture has been developed to allow it to be easily integrated with other GPIB, PXI, VXI, or LXI instruments. The software drivers are based on the IVI industry standard and can be used within virtually any application development environment in addition to Windows and Linux operating systems. An intuitive graphical web-based interface provides the necessary tools for controlling and monitoring an EX72SF through local or remote access using familiar web browsers.

The EX72SF leverages the EX7000-OEM feature set and provides users with tools that can be used to enhance the efficiency of their application, such as scan lists, exclude lists, programmable MBB and BBM, pre-defined configuration storage, LXI Class A Trigger Events and IEEE-1588 synchronization and triggering, and TTL I/O control of other devices.

To configure your switch simply follow these three steps

1. Start with the EX72SF base unit. It holds up to twelve microwave building blocks in two rack U (3.5") height
2. Select up to six SPDT and six multiport switches
3. Contact Testforce for price and delivery.
