Pickering's LXI high frequency (HF) matrix modules are suitable for switching frequencies up to 50MHz. They have an impedance of 50Ω and uses SMB signal connectors or with a larger case size is uses BNC connectors. This HF matrix is designed to provide a simple and scalable bidirectional matrix for radio frequencies and is intended for the easy construction of high performance bidirectional matrix switching systems.
Software configuration allows it to be set as a dual 24 by 8 matrix, a single 48 by 8 matrix and other configurations. A flexible isolation switch arrangement permits the matrices to be configured so the matrix can be expanded with other modules while maximizing the bandwidth of the switching system. This high frequency matrix is supplied in a compact 1U high, rack width case with 340mm depth; the BNC version is housed in a 2U high case with 500mm depth. It is fully programmable via the LAN interface using a variety of drivers. Industry standard (W3C) web browsers can be used to access and change configuration information and provide access to the soft front panels.
These matrices are supported by a comprehensive range of cable and connector accessories.
