18 GHz Microwave Switch (3 channels)

The Agilent E***8A microwave switch is a B-size, *-slot, register-based VXI module. This module, which incorporates the ***2B microwave switch, provides *-channels of single-pole, double-throw coaxial switching. The three coaxial switches provided have excellent electrical characteristics for transmission systems operating from dc to *8 GHz. The module panels are numbered *0, *1, *2 to indicate the channel numbers of each coaxial switch installed.

The E***8A microwave switch module contains three factory-installed *0 Ohm switches, giving it broad bandwidth, high isolation, and excellent repeatability. The switches can by easily activated from a user's program via SCPI commands. This module also comes with a **-pin DIP socket for connecting two additional switches mounted remotely. The coaxial switches always operate in break-before-make fashion and are controlled by a latching solenoid.
