WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING - HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS SYMBOL

atmospheres. If the product is to be used in hazardous environments we recommend that the user

ensures suitable protective measures are taken.

WARNING - DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK SYMBOL

This module may contain hazardous voltages. Before removing the module from the rack remove all

supplies and disconnect user I/O signals.

Unused slots in the host chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user

I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety

of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then

additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.

CAUTION - HANDLING OF ELECTROSTATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES SYMBOL

Certain semiconductor devices used in this equipment are liable to damage due to static voltage.

Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their unterminated state, or

sub-assemblies containing these devices:

1. Persons removing sub-assemblies from equipment using these devices must be earthed by a

wrist strap and a resistor at the point provided on the equipment.

2. Soldering irons used during the repair operations must be low voltage types with earthed tips and

isolated from the mains voltage by a double insulated transformer.

3. Outer clothing worn must be unable to generate static charges.

anti-static bags.

CAUTION - PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION SYMBOL

and understood before attempting to install or operate the product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All cleaning and servicing requires the equipment to be isolated and disconnected from the power source and user I/O

signals (refer to the Maintenance Section).

• Appropriate manual handling procedures should be followed as dictated by the weight of the individual module or

the combined weight of the modules & chassis.

• Should a fault occur with the module or chassis, immediately isolate and disconnect the incoming power to the

chassis and the user I/O signals.

• Ensure the equipment is installed, operated and maintained by trained and authorised personnel.

• For suitably equipped products in the event of an emergency press the red “emergency stop” button situated on

the front of the unit.

40-884A-001 4x4 Terminated 8 GHz Matrix

Simpliﬁed Functional Diagram

The 40-884A is an all solid state microwave matrix which

can operate to frequencies beyond 8 GHz and handle RF

powers to +30 dBm. The matrix supports up 4 point to point

connections across the matrix at the same time.

An innovative construction method ensures the 40-884A

provides a compact 3 slot solution which has excellent

RF performance. A 4x4 matrix aids the concurrent testing

of up to 4 devices with 4 different sets of test equipment,

improving speed of test in RF systems and making more

efﬁcient use of expensive test equipment.

The design provides a high isolation between the selected

paths, ensuring a high degree of independence in the test

processes. Fast operating speed reduces the time taken

in setting switches for the next test run. With the ability

to handle signals up to +30 dBm and an IP3 of typically

+60dBm the design can handle the signal levels found

in most applications without introducing appreciable

distortion.

RF connections are made via SMA connectors to ensure

cabling solutions maintain the high performance of the

40-884A.

The 40-884A is supplied with drivers that allow users

to support the module in all popular PXI software

environments. In addition the 40-884A can be supported in

Pickering Interfaces’ LXI/PXI Modular Chassis, permitting

users to choose an LXI or PXI switching platform while

retaining the same high performance characteristics and

driver environment.
