Relay switch module 1260-51

digitalRFanalog

The Racal Instruments™ 1260-51 is ideal for high performance RF switching. Its 400MHz bandwidth makes the 1260-51 an excellent switch module for medium- speed digital, datacomm and most analog signals. Product Information The 1260-51 is an excellent choice for switching high frequency signals to an oscilloscope or counter/timer. Its wide bandwidth ensures that the test equipment sees fast, transient signals. The 1260-51 is also ideal for switching high frequency signal sources, such as our family of wave- form synthesizers and signal generators, to the unit under test. The 1260-51 consists of six 2x6 matrices that may be combined into three, 2x12 or one, 2x36 matrix. The module automati- cally configures interconnection relays to achieve the path desired. The 1260-51 provides a low noise switch path with excellent crosstalk and isolation. This performance allows the 1260-51 to switch signals in critical tests of amplifiers, receivers and other active devices. MATURE Relay coil-current monitoring is available to provide confidence checking by assuring the user of proper relay operation. The 1260-51 is controlled by the Racal Instruments™ Option 01 message-based interface, or the Option 01T message- based and register-based interface, which are explained in detail on separate data sheets.
