Flexible

The RadiSwitch® RF coaxial relay plug-in cards are designed to switch RF signals from DC to 67 GHz, with a maximum capacity of up to 700 Watts. If you need to switch RF power levels above 700 W, you can remotely control an external relay via a RadiSwitch plug-in card.

RadiSwitch® plug-in cards come in various versions, including one, two, or four SPDT (single pole double throw) coaxial relays or SP6T (single pole six throw) coaxial relays. These versions are available in 18 GHz (SMA type), 40 GHz (k type), 50 GHz (Q type), and 67GHz (V type) models. Additionally, plug-in cards with BNC-type (3 GHz) or N-type (12.4 GHz) connectors are also available.

You can use any combination and quantity of plug-in cards in the RadiCentre®, which makes the system one of the most flexible switching systems in the world.

Hardware interlock

The first relay on the RadiSwitch® plug-in card can be either a standard relay or a safety interlock relay. If you use it as a safety interlock, it can disable the RF input to the amplifier, which helps prevent personnel from being exposed to high radiated RF fields.

You can connect the RF interlock input to a switch on the access door of the test chamber. This ensures that the interlock is only released when the door is closed, which helps maintain a safe environment for testing.

External switching

RF amplifiers that are powerful are often placed in separate shielded rooms with appropriate cooling. To control the output of these amplifiers, you can connect a RadiSwitch plug-in card to an external switch box.

The RSW2002E plug-in card has drivers that let you control two external switches, and each relay can handle a current of up to 500 mA. Additionally, the card has an internal power supply that can power the relays of the 12 VDC, 24 VDC, or 28 VDC type.

Control

Depending on the type of relay, the RadiSwitch® plug-in cards take up one or two slots in the RadiCentre® modular and multifunctional EMC system. The RadiCentre® comes in three models, including a single, double, or seven-slot version, and it’s flexible and expandable. It’s the main platform for most of Raditeq’s test and measurement products.

Both the two- and seven-slot versions of the RadiCentre® have a 7-inch TFT touch screen for manual control and monitoring, but you can also control them from a PC via USB, LAN, or GPIB (optional). Furthermore, you can control both the RadiCentre® and RadiSwitch® using RadiMation® EMC testing software or any other EMC testing software package using device commands.

RadiSwitch® RF Switch Matrixes

The RadiSwitch® series offers a variety of RF switching plug-in cards for fully automated EMC testing. EMC test systems can be complex installations with many different test and measurement instruments. To enable fully automated testing, all measuring instruments and connections between amplifiers, power meters, antennas, and EMI receivers must be selected automatically.


RadiSwitch® is designed specifically to switch RF signals between multiple instruments during EMC and RF measurements. The RadiSwitch® plug-in cards fit into a RadiCentre® modular test system, which is an essential component of the switchgear for all types of EMC and RF tests.


You can easily control the switching cards automatically using EMC test software like RadiMation®. This allows for smoother and more efficient testing processes.

Reliable

In an EMC or RF test situation, it’s common to switch RF signal paths frequently. That’s why the RadiSwitch® uses highly reliable relays that can handle over a million switches (*).

Even with continuous use 24/7, 365 days a year, and switching every minute, the RadiSwitch® cards will still last for two years. And in more regular testing situations (10 hours/day, 250 days a year, and switching 10 times an hour), the RadiSwitch® will last for up to 40 years.

(*) The SMA version of the RadiSwitch® has a lifespan of 5-10 million cycles, while the K and W versions can handle up to 2 million cycles.

Easy to use & extendable

The RadiSwitch® system is designed to be “Plug and Play”, which means that every plug-in card is automatically recognized, initialized, and ready to use.


Users can easily configure and control the relay position of each individual RadiSwitch® plug-in card using the touch screen or with EMC testing software. For more extensive switching applications, multiple RadiCentre® EMC systems can be used together.
