Matrix/PXI Catalog

Dow-Key Microwave Corporation is pleased to present its new Matrix/PXI Catalog, which introduces the most popular, standard, and integrated switching solutions required in today's broadband market -- everything from solid-state to electromechanical and reconfigurable PXI module switching systems.  

The provided solutions support solid state switches from HF, IF,VHF and up to L-Band systems while the electromechanical matrices support the full range - from DC up to 18 GHz. Bidirectional non-blocking crossbar, full fan-in or fan-out topologies are offered, in addition to master/slave units consisting of individual controlled switches. Local LCD/touch screen with padded keyboard and RS-232, RS-485, and GPIB (IEEE-488) or Ethernet remote control interfaces are supplied in every solution.  

The PXI modules are supplied in variations such that a 4x4 module can easily be reconfigured (to mention a few ways) to 3xSPDT, 4xSPDT, and SP3T switch. The 2x5 module is a bidirectional switch, which like the 4x4, works up to 18 GHz. The most flexible PXI module switch  offered is a 2U module that can be configured anyway up to (3) DC-26.5 GHz switches using Dual SPDT, DPDT, SP3T, or SP6T switches. All integrated PXI modules are supplied with comprehensive software drivers.  

Dow-Key's colorful catalog comes with detail performance, environmental, and mechanical product spec. To further extend, Dow-Key is specialized in custom switching solutions and builds to spec if required. They have created hundreds of custom switching units – as advanced as L-Band Full Rack Integrated Transmit/Receive Telecom systems.  

Dow-Key Microwave Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of electro-mechanical switches and a diversified manufacturer of a wide range of proprietary products and components for industrial and commercial use. Some of these products include high performance waveguide switches, which are primarily used in the four major markets of Commercial, Military, Avionics, and Hi-Rel/Space. Integrated PXI modules, which complies with the PXI Specification 2.1 and are supplied with comprehensive software drivers. Custom Matrix designs, microwave switches and L-Band matrices and other leading products designed for today's fast paced communications industry.
