Application Note: Creating Your Own RF Switching System

The purpose of this article is to introduce an alternative way of meeting switching needs by showing how to design your own RF switch solution using CANBus Switches together with a Dow switch controller kit. It shows the user step by step how to create a matrix.

Dow-Key Microwave provides a flexible and a creative solution to design and to interface your own switching system using Dow-Key RF CANBus switches and Dow-Key Switch Controller Kit. This solution provides engineers the flexibility of cascading RF coaxial switches as needed together with a kit that is offered in two different communication protocols: Ethernet or GPIB Kit. Our solution serves as an alternating way of meeting design needs by you doing the work of putting together a switching system using the provided solution of building blocks.
