CXM Series -- this series is typically used for frequencies from DC to 40 GMHz. We use microwave relays, splitters, programmable attenuators and many other microwave components from the worlds most popular vendors to build standard or custom systems to your specifications.
There are a large variety of 1x2 through 1x12 microwave relays available in Normally Open, Failsafe, Latching, Terminated or special configurations to suit your needs. Or simply buy the driver chassis and use it to control your own components. Since Cytec doesn"t build microwave components we can put the systems together with whatever parts you prefer and stand behind the warranty for you.
Key Features |
RF systems with bandpass from DC to 18 GHz, 50 ohms impedance, low crosstalk & high isolation. |
Some systems with extended bandpass as high as 40 GHz |
Both Nx1 multiplexers and NxM matrices offered. SMA connectors standard, N, BNC, TNC also available |
Computer control via IEEE488 & RS232 standard. Ethernet LAN, USB and front panel Manual Controls optional. |
Front Panel LEDs for visual indication of closed switches and remote Status feedback aid in debugging |
Passive design doesn't add to signal noise or create intermodulation products typical of solid state devices. |
