Reduce Downtime Keysight Technologies is the world leader in innovating and developing microwave accessories for communications and aerospace applications. Our innovative design and strict adherence to quality process control ensure that each switch is guaranteed to perform within warranted specifications for its entire lifetime. With fewer breakdowns and less need to recalibrate, your test system moves quicker with less downtime, creating more throughput and revenue. Raise your Standards All Keysight switches offer excellent repeatability and long life — up to five times the lifecycles of the competition. Add to this aggressive specs for isolation, SWR, and insertion loss, and you have a switch that impresses even the most demanding engineer with its precision and durability. Increase Flexibility and Productivity When you buy your switches from Keysight, you notice a difference. Your test platforms run smoother, longer, and faster, while yielding more viable and valuable measurements. For system that require extra functionality or increased performance, the N181x family of switches has a solution that fits your need. They come with a multiple selection of option which includes option to increased isolation, reduced SWR, standard drive, TTL drive, 5/15/24V drive and position indicator. Both increased isolation and reduced SWR are not available for 40/50/67 GHz Technology Keysight switches are designed with a rectangular coaxial structure like edge-line. This transmission line structure provides for movement of the edge-line center conductor between two fixed, continuous ground planes. The main advantage of this innovation is that the moving contacts can be easily activated yet maintain high-isolation and low insertion loss. The RF contact configuration is designed for controlled wiping action. Since the outer conductor is not part of the switching function, repeatability and life are improved. The switching action occurs typically within 15 mil iseconds, after which permanent magnets latch the contacts to retain the new switch position. 2 Document Outline High Performance Electromechanical Switches for Microwave and RF Manufacturing Test Systems Reduce Downtime Raise your Standards Increase Flexibility and Productivity Technology Operation and Driving Specifications Specifications Equations Supplemental Specifications and Characteristics Typical Performance Environmental Specifications Mechanical Dimensions Ordering Information Related Literatures More RF & Microwave Test Accessories
