WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING - HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS SYMBOL

This product is not specically designed for use in hazardous environments, for example in explosive

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 PXI/LXI 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.

4. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) tted with these devices must be stored and transported in

anti-static bags.

CAUTION - PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION SYMBOL

Suitably qualied & trained users should ensure that the accompanying documentation is fully read

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.

40-787

Microwave BRIC™ Matrix

●Platform For Microwave Matrix and

Switching Applications

●Standard Conﬁgurations Up To Non-

Blocking 4x4 Matrix

●Options For Built-in Termination and

Loop Thru

●High Quality Switches Ensure Low

Loss and VSWR

●Repeatable and Path Independent

Insertion Loss

●Occupies 10 Mechanical Slots of a

3U Chassis

●Single Electrical Slot Ideal For Use In Smaller

Chassis

●Customized Version With Additional Switch

Components and Matrix Size Available

●VISA, IVI & Kernel Drivers Supplied for

Windows

●Supported by PXI or LXI Chassis

●3 Year Warranty

The 40-787 Microwave BRIC platform is designed to

provide a solution for complex RF matrix applications.

Using a common mechanical platform the module can

be constructed to provide scaleable non-blocking or

blocking microwave matrix for frequencies to at least

20GHz.

The standard conﬁgurations provide up to a 4x4 matrix.

More complex matrix can be constructed by adding

further switching functions and other devices inside the

module.

The matrix is available with optional terminated

inputs to avoid the creation of standing waves on

unconnected input cables. A Loop Thru option allows

the matrix size to be expanded by combining a number

of modules with additional cables, enabling 8 x 4 or

even 8 x 8 matrix to be constructed.

The use of high quality microwave switches ensures

high performance in all applications and a similar

insertion loss on all paths through a standard matrix.

The 40-787 can be used efﬁciently in smaller chassis

since only the left hand electrical connection is used

and the module can occupy the expansion slots on

the right hand side of low cost chassis such as the

Pickering Interfaces 40-908.

If you have an application requiring higher frequencies,

more functionality or a larger matrix Pickering Interfaces

can adapt the design of the this module to your

requirements. Contact your local sales ofﬁce for more

information.

axis inputs can be routed to the X axis

connections or the signal can be passed

on to the Loop-Thru connectors to allow

the construction of a larger matrix By combining several 40-787 matrices with the Loop-Thru

option together, a larger matrix can be constructed.
