Key Features

Flexible & Wide range
The RadiSwitch® RF coaxial relay plug-in cards are able to switch RF signals from DC until 67 GHz and with RF power up
to 700 Watts directly, or any high RF power indirect using externally controlled switches. RadiSwitch® plug-in cards are
available in several versions, with one, two or four SPDT coaxial relays, alternatively one or two SP6T of different type
coaxial relays; N-Type, BNC, SMA, 2.92mm (K) and 2.4 (Q). Any combination of plug-in cards is allowed, making this system
the most flexible switching systems in the world!

 

High quality

The RadiSwitch® plug-in cards use high quality switches with excellent RF characteristics. The insertion loss is specified
at typical 0.4 dB and isolation is typically 60 dB. The lifetime (maximum switch cycles) of the internal relays is typically
10.000.000 cycles. This ensures long term usage of your switch system.

 

Extensible & Easy to use

RadiSwitch® plug-in cards are designed to fit in the RadiCentre® modular EMC test systems. This system has a backplane
that will fit one, two or seven plug-in cards, bringing the maximum capacity of the system to 28 relays in the RadiCentre®
7-slot system. Of course it is possible to build even larger switching systems by combining any number of RadiCentre®
systems. The system is “Plug and Play”, which means that every board is automatically recognised, initialised and ready
for use. The user can configure and control the functionality of every individual plug-in card by means of external
software or using the RadiCentre® colour TFT touch screen display.

 

Hardware interlock

The first relay of the RadiSwitch® plug-in card (only for SPDT models) can either be used as a standard relay or as a
safety interlock relay. When using this relay as a safety interlock, this enables the function to switch OFF the RF input
to the amplifier, in order to prevent personnel to be subjected to high radiated RF fields. The RF interlock input can be
connected to a switch on the entrance door of the test chamber.

External switch control

High power RF amplifiers are normally placed in separate test rooms with appropriate cooling facilities. To control these
amplifiers the RSW2002E RadiSwitch plug-in card can be connected to an external high power switch system which has
an internal power supply to power 12VDC/24VDC/28VDC external (high power) relays.

Software support

The RadiSwitch® plug-in cards are software controllable. Besides the RadiMation® integral EMC measurement software
the system can be controlled by any EMC measurement package using control commands.
