CrossPoint Technologies’ IF/RF Switch Matrix provides switching and distribution in a rack mount package. An input can be routed to one or all outputs simultaneously. The solid state GaAs switches have virtually unlimited life. The matrix provides unity gain (0 dB) as standard. Systems can be tailored to antenna switching applications, where low noise is most critical, or for IF switching applications where high intercept and high compression points are desired. LNB power insertion is also available.
The modular packaging permits the design of larger configurations using 16 x 16 building blocks. The larger matrices retain their full fan-out, non-blocking features. A centralized controller and power supply system reduce costs of the larger matrices.
The standard Remote control interface is RS-232 and RS-422 (user selectable). Optional interfaces include Ethernet and IEEE-488. Custom interfaces can be provided, please consult the factory.
