Solid State

Overview

Utilizing our skill and knowledge in frequency routing and mitigation, we have designed high caliber Solid State Switch Matrices capable of switching a single input signal to all output ports simultaneously. Our Solid State solutions support up to 40 GHz and include PIN diode and FET based devices, delivering high-power-low video leakage/switching transients, fast switching speeds, high isolation and absorptive designs.

Benefits

Non-blocking full fan-out switching system
High linearity amplifiers to compensate for system insertion loss
Redundant power supplies with LED monitoring on front panel
Removable hard drive
LCD touch screen
Ethernet remote control
Fast switching speeds up to 10 ms
Ultra-long lifecycle
Built-in temperature stability
Signal routing across typical frequency bands, including HF, IF, VHF, L, S and broadband

Problems Solved

Reliably routing the input signal to any output port, Solid State Matrices are applicable for complex applications where multiple I/O signals increase switching complexity.

Situations where high-density RF switching (transmitting and receiving) for narrowband, low frequency and low power applications are required
Support for low power and high-density signal routing both on the transmitter (Fan-Out) and receiver (Fan-In) side
