WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING - HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS SYMBOL

atmospheres. If the product is to be used in hazardous environments we recommend that the user

ensures suitable protective measures are taken.

WARNING - DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK SYMBOL

This module may contain hazardous voltages. Before removing the module from the rack remove all

supplies and disconnect user I/O signals.

Unused slots in the host chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user

I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety

of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then

additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.

CAUTION - HANDLING OF ELECTROSTATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES SYMBOL

Certain semiconductor devices used in this equipment are liable to damage due to static voltage.

Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their unterminated state, or

sub-assemblies containing these devices:

1. Persons removing sub-assemblies from equipment using these devices must be earthed by a

wrist strap and a resistor at the point provided on the equipment.

2. Soldering irons used during the repair operations must be low voltage types with earthed tips and

isolated from the mains voltage by a double insulated transformer.

3. Outer clothing worn must be unable to generate static charges.

anti-static bags.

CAUTION - PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION SYMBOL

and understood before attempting to install or operate the product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All cleaning and servicing requires the equipment to be isolated and disconnected from the power source and user I/O

signals (refer to the Maintenance Section).

• Appropriate manual handling procedures should be followed as dictated by the weight of the individual module or

the combined weight of the modules & chassis.

• Should a fault occur with the module or chassis, immediately isolate and disconnect the incoming power to the

chassis and the user I/O signals.

• Ensure the equipment is installed, operated and maintained by trained and authorised personnel.

• For suitably equipped products in the event of an emergency press the red “emergency stop” button situated on

the front of the unit.

Switching Diagram

(Default Switch Positions Shown)

The 40-883A is a 50 Ω 8 GHz multiplexer which can operate

to frequencies beyond 8 GHz. It is available in 8:1 format

in a two slot PXI module or 16:1 format in a three slot PXI

module.

40-883A-002 16:1

Terminated 8 GHz MUX

The 40-883A exhibits low VSWR over the full operating

frequency range and consistent and ﬂat insertion loss

characteristics. The use of solid state switches ensure a

long service life with no wear out mechanism, making the

40-883A ideal for ATE systems requiring frequent and fast

operating RF switching. The 40-883A can handle RF input

powers of up to +30 dBm and is able to sustain frequent

hot switching without performance degradation.

The module is ﬁtted with SMA connectors, ensuring

module compatibility with commonly used cables.

The 40-883A is supplied with drivers that allow users

to support the module in all popular PXI software

environments. In addition the 40-883A can be supported in

Pickering Interfaces 60-100 series LXI Modular Switching

chassis, permitting users to choose their switching

platform with the same high performance characteristics

and driver environment.
