Testforce CanadaKeithley S46 RF Microwave Switching
S46 and S46T Microwave Switch Systems are designed to simplify the automated switching needed to test a wide range of RF and telecommunication products and devices. The S46 can control 32 relay contacts in a package as small as a 2U high (3.5 in) full-rack enclosure. Choose the System 46T if your application requires a terminated configuration. It builds on the design technology of the unterminated System 46. The System 46T accommodates up to eight terminated SPDT coaxial microwave relays and four terminated multi-pole coaxial microwave relays.
This is a configured system, please see datasheets for order information and request your quote.

Benefits |
|---|---|
| Built-in contact closure counter | Allows maintenance personnel to assess when the relays are nearing the end of their mechanical life. In this way, preventive maintenance can be performed in a timely way. |
| Relays can be easily added to the system | Simplifies creating new switch configurations as new test requirements emerge. |
| 32 control channels can be operated via GPIB with a minimal set of instructions. | Ensures the system can be set up and running quickly. |
| Front panel LEDs | Indicates the status of all relay contacts continuously to allow easy monitoring of system operation. |
| Channel characterization data storage | Supports storing S-parameters or calibration constants for each relay contact or each pathway. Critical performance parameters can be stored in memory for use in trend analysis between scheduled maintenance. |
| Frequency ranges up to 40GHz | Provides maximum switching flexibility. |
| Available accessories include low-loss, semi-flexible RF cables | Helps to maximize signal integrity. |
