Flexible Microwave Switching Family

18 August 2023 – Pickering Interfaces announced its new 40/42-890 family of modular, flexible microwave switches, bringing highly configurable switching solutions up to 110GHz to the PXI platform. The company will showcase the products on booth #204 at IEEE AUTOTESTCON 2023, at The Gaylord National Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, USA from August 28-31, 2023.

AUTOTESTCON is the world’s premier meeting place for government & defense procurers and users and the military & aerospace automated test sector to come together to share new technologies and discuss innovative applications in conference sessions, as well as exhibit products and services. Sponsored annually by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers), AUTOTESTCON is dedicated to increasing system availability through advanced test technology.

Ideal for test environments requiring high frequency microwave switching, from radar and communications to consumer electronics and 5G infrastructure, the new 40/42-890 microwave switch family provides highly configurable switching solutions up to 110GHz via the PXI platform, delivering flexibility, versatility, and test system optimization. “This new family available in both PXI & PXIe allows RF test engineers to select from and combine a wide range of high performance microwave relay types to suit their exact application requirements while minimizing chassis slot usage by combining multiple relay and connector types on a single module,” said Steve Edwards, Switching Product Manager at Pickering.
