High Power PIN Diode Microwave Switch

Signal Technology Olektron Operation has entered the High Power PIN Diode Microwave Switch market segment. Switches operating within the range of 100 MHz to 18 GHz, operating at power levels of up to 400W CW or 4KW peak, represent new capability for the Olektron Operation. Standard offerings will begin with a 100 Watt SPDT design. Custom devices are also being offered.

Digital

To address the current and emerging needs of digitally encoded systems designers, we have developed a family of high performance digital switching matrices. The devices are designed for use in communication, control and remote management, and telemetry. Our broad hardware experience enables us to offer solutions in many physical layer protocols and mixed environments to suit varied applications such as:

• Bipolar - Telephony (E1/T1 through E3/T3), Data (RS-232)

• Unipolar - TTL, ECL

• Differential - Data (RS-422, RS-485), ECL

• Optical - 820nm, 1310nm

• Hardware Transparent

Most Digital Switch Matrix Products feature signal paths that are not sensitive to modulation format and rate. This allows the user to switch different format signals within the same matrix.

Baseband

Analog Audio, Analog Video, Analog Telemetry, Low Rate Digital Telemetry - Signal Technology's Baseband Switch Matrix Products allow analog users to increase their system densities in all these areas.

These Baseband Switch Matrix Products feature signal paths that are broadband and linear. STC's ultra broadband Analog Audio/Video products give the system integrator the flexibility of using the same ports for audio, video or telemetry.

Control of our Matrix Products is simple and straightforward. All products utilize an RS-232 serial control port. (Other formats are available. Products with Generation II controllers add a LAN control port.)

MODEL NUMBER	DESCRIPTION	FREQUENCY RANGE
1205-048M-032M-1	48 x 32 Baseband Switch Matrix	DC to 25MHz
1201-112M-112M-1/5	112 x 112 Baseband Switch Matrix	DC to 40MHz

RF

Signal Technology's Radio Frequency Switch Matrix Products are the pinnacles of performance for receiver front-end radio frequency switching. Many different frequency bands and ranges are available. These devices feature broadband frequency coverage and ultra wide dynamic (amplitude) range. Each unit's low noise floor and high intercept points allow operators to hear weak signals without being desensitized by the strong signals.

Most Popular Bands:

• Very Low Frequency (VLF), 10 KHz ­ 2 MHz

• High Frequency (HF), 2 ­ 30 MHz

• Very High Frequency (VHF), 30 ­ 300 MHz

• Ultra High Frequency (UHF), 300 MHz ­ 3 GHz

• Intermediate Frequencies (IF), 455 KHz ­ 160 MHz

Control of our Matrix Products is simple and straightforward. All products utilize an RS-232 serial control port. (Other formats are available. Products with Generation II controllers add a LAN control port.)
