Microwave multiplexer family offers versatile RF/microwave switching
Pickering Interfaces has announced a new family of high channel count PXI and PXIe microwave multiplexer (MUX) modules. Expanding Pickering’s range of RF and microwave switching, the 40/42-788 family is based on industry-leading, superior-quality Radiall mechanical microwave switches, with bandwidth options from 8GHz to 40GHz. Versatile switching configurations are available with single or dual SP8T, SP10T, or […]
21-slot PXI chassis features 20 hybrid slots
The 42-927 PXI chassis from Pickering Interfaces saves test-rack space by accepting up to 20 PXI or PXIe instruments and switch cards. No matter how many instruments they hold, large, automated test systems always take up too much floor space. While test racks may have increased in density since the PXI bus was introduced in […]
IMS 2023 roundup: test equipment
Test equipment plays a major role in product development and production, which was apparent at IMS 2023. In the photos and videos below, you’ll get a taste of test developments at RF, mmWave, and sub-THz frequencies. This year, D-band (110 GHz to 170 GHz) seized a larger portion of the exhibit hall than in past […]
Free, online tool simplifies configuration of custom LXI RF and microwave switching systems
Pickering Interfaces announced its Microwave Switch Design Tool, a new free online tool for configuring flexible LXI microwave switching products. The dedicated tool will simplify the configuration of custom LXI RF & microwave switching systems, helping bring powerful, flexible microwave design functionality to customers building systems for signal routing applications across 5G, wireless & telecommunications, […]
How modularity benefits test systems
By understanding the key issues at every phase of the product lifecycle, engineers can make decisions that result in flexible, reliable, and scalable test systems. Taking a modular approach to test system development can accelerate development and mitigate risk throughout the entire product lifecycle. When it comes to designing and building automated test systems, today’s […]
PXI multi-channel battery simulator modules emulate battery stacks up to 1000 V
Pickering Interfaces announced the latest version in its 41/43-752A range of battery simulator modules. Ideal for EV battery stack emulation in BMS test applications, the 41/43-752A-111’s increased voltage isolation (now 1000V) will be essential as the EV industry shifts from 400V to 800V architectures. Targeting EV (electric vehicle), electric aircraft and other automotive, aerospace and energy…
New products from electronica 2022
Semiconductors and modules graced the halls of Electronica 2022. Here are some of those announced at this year’s event.
PXI 18-slot chassis offers double the PXISA cooling spec/slot, more backplane power
The model 42-926-001 18-slot PXIe chassis offers Gen2 performance, is higher spec’d than competing models, with double the PXISA cooling spec per slot and more power to the backplane, and is available on shorter lead-times at a lower cost. The model 42-926 high-performance PXIe chassis provides one PXIe system slot, one PXIe timing slot and […]
