The Keysight 34945A switch/attenuator driver module for the 34980A Multifunction Switch/Measure Unit allows you to control switches and attenuators external to the 34980A Mainframe. This module provides power and control signals for many of the most popular microwave switches and attenuators.
Distribution boards offer ease of wiring to the external switches. One 34945A and 34945EXT can drive up to 64 switch coils, that´s 32 SPDT switches. Add an additional 34945EXT´s to drive another 64 switch coils.
