PXI/PXIe RF Matrix Modules
Pickering has added two new matrix modules
to their line of PXI/PXIe instruments.
The 40-724-021-L (PXI) and 42-724-021-L
(PXIe) are 32x8 RF matrix modules with
y-axis loop-thru and are suitable for switching
frequencies up to 150 MHz. Having a
50 Ω characteristic impedance and front panel
SMB connectors, these modules provide a
simple and scalable bidirectional matrix for
RF and are intended for
the easy construction of
high performance switching
systems.
The Y loop-thru connections
to allow easy
matrix expansion between
adjacent modules.
All X and Y connections
have isolation
switches. These can
be used to disconnect
the matrix from the external
test fixture to
maximize isolation and
RF performance.
Key Features:
◗ Available as a PXI or PXIe Module
◗ Easy to Use Loop-thru Option Allows Unlimited X Axis
Expansion
◗ 300 MHz Usable Bandwidth, 150 MHz With Loop-thru
◗ SMB Coaxial Connectors
◗ VISA, IVI and Kernel Drivers Supplied for Windows
◗ PXI Version Supported by PXI or LXI Chassis
◗ 3-Year Warranty

High Performance Impedance
Measurements
With a completely new
family of high performance
LCR meters, the frequency
range of impedance measurements
provided by
Rohde & Schwarz test
equipment is extended to cover AC components operating
from 4 Hz to 10 MHz, supporting all practical applications.
The R&S LCX family of LCR meters serves all established impedance
measurements plus specialized measurements for
selected component types and provides both the high accuracy
required in R&D and the high speed needed in production test
and quality assurance.
Rohde & Schwarz launches its new LCR meter family of
high performance general purpose impedance testers covering
a wide range of applications. With its supported frequency
range from 4 Hz to 10 MHz, the R&S LCX is suitable not only
for most devices operating at conventional 50 or 60 Hz domestic
power frequencies or 400 Hz for aircraft, but also for
everything from low frequency seismic sensors to high power
communication circuits operating at several Megahertz.
For engineers selecting suitable capacitors, inductances, resistors,
and analog filters to match the device application, the
R&S LCX models provide high precision impedance values
with market-leading accuracy. Equally, higher speed measurements
at production-use accuracy for quality control and
monitoring are also supported. All the essential software and
hardware required for production environments is available,
including remote control and result logging, as well as rack
mounting for the instrument, and a full range of test fixtures
for handling components.
The auto-balancing bridge technology used by the R&S
LCX supports conventional impedance measurements by
measuring the AC voltage and current for the device under
test, including the phase shift. This is then used to calculate
complex impedance at any given operational point. As
a general purpose LCR meter, the R&S LCX covers many
applications, such as the measurement of equivalent series
resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL)
of electrolytic capacitors and DC-link capacitors. Furthermore,
users can test transformers and measure DC resistance
in addition to the full range of impedance measurements. To
investigate components with impedance values varying at different
frequencies and levels, option R&S LCX-K106 supports
