Aeroflex 3060 PXI RF combiners

Click2Contact

The 3060 series RF combiners are PXI modules designed specifically for component and radio terminal system test.

They are high-performance RF conditioning modules supplied in a compact single-slot 3U PXI package. The series comprises three different modules each addressing a particular application; these are the 3060, 3061 and 3065.

The 3060 series is supplied with an integrated RF switch and power combiners. The series can provide a frequency range up to 2.7 or 6 GHz.

The modules are suitable for use in RF test systems in conjunction with the company’s 3020 series RF signal generators and 3030 series RF digitiser modules.

Together these modules enable the development of compact, high-performance, low-cost, modular RF test systems. The combiners avoid the need for extraneous RF signal conditioning development in the test fixture, simplifying test system design.

In addition to providing signal summing, the modules support various input and output switched path configurations to enable single-port and multi-port RF devices to be tested and enable internal calibration without the need to disconnect the test subject.

The combiner modules are supplied calibrated with frequency response data stored internally. This data can be read by the test system and used to offset stimulus input level in the signal generator and correct measurement results from the digitiser. The module also provides direct switch connection between input ports to enable test system end-to-end calibration.
