Datasheet: ASCOR Series 8000 Microwave Switch Products

The Giga-tronics ASCOR Series 8000 line of switch products are based on rugged electromechanical switches and microwave relays rated for use from DC to 40 GHz with low insertion loss and high isolation. Route signals under remote control to simplify and improve automated test systems.

The standard Series 8000 offers GPIB, USB and Ethernet LAN communication interfaces. A self-contained design, with built-in power supplies, interface controller board and relay drawer card up to 256 relay coils, makes it very easy to implement a microwave switch system. It is designed to host many combinations of microwave relay switches, terminated or non-terminated: SPDT, SP6T, SP8T or Transfer switches. With a standard SCPI command set, the control interface provides the ASCOR Series 8000 with ease of operation and configurability.
